The HCSB Light Speed Bible Edited by William Proctor Holman Bible Publishers ISBN: 1-58640-066-8 Religion, Bible, Christian Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

The HCSB Light Speed Bible is an updated, slightly more modern version of the traditional Christian Bible. The purpose of this updated version is to make the Bible more accessible and easy to read for modern readers. Most of the changes are pretty minor: creating subtitles for ease of reference and some grammatical changes to make the text more easy to comprehend and more like modern books.

I have to admit, my opinion is still rather split on this version. On one hand, I found that the subtitles did make referring back to specific parts of sections much easier than reading through the entire section to get that piece I wanted to examine. I also think that anything that encourages someone interested in examining the Bible to actually pick up the book and start reading is definitely a benefit.

On the other hand though, many individuals take the Bible as word by word truth. Though the Bible has been translated and modified many times in the past, there still lies the potential danger that a reader will examine this book looking for word by word truth within the minor changes made in this edition.
