HCSB - really inexpensive

Yeah I paid full price for it last spring! I think they are trying to dump off the first printing because of all the typos and misprints. Christmas is a good time to do it. The plain cover pew Bibles have the same mistakes. they are the same price at our LifeWay.

 

Is that the one with the bullit notes ?

 

I picked up the hardback on ebay for $3.00 plus $2.00 shipping. The cover was a little loose, but no marks in the Bible. Good enough to read.

I have not read much yet (most I have read was from the $2 paperback NT's they were selling to get people to like it.) Where are some of the major typo's Eaglewing--I want to see if mine has them. If you don't know off-hand, don't bother trying to locate any.
Thx,

Hey, Lamentations is interesting. It has the Hebrew letter at the top of each portion with its English pronunciation. Exmp: "Alef", "Bet" (don't have the fonts or know how to type them for the Hebrew, if I did.)

About Bullet notes, mine has a lot of footnotes. For example: "Rev. 13-1 Other mss read: heads was a blasphemous name"

 

The 2003 edition of the HCSB can be downloaded for free along with 21 other English translations of the Bible into a free Bible study program that includes four Greek texts of the N.T., the LXX, several multi-volume commentaries on the Bible, Bible dictionaries, Bible encyclopedias, and other references. Also included with this free program are a hymnal, Bible atlas, Bible art, many Christian classics, and other goodies--all for free at http://e-sword.net/

 

Page # 857 & 858 the references at the top should refer to Mk. 11:23 and 24, Instead it is Mk. 10:23 and 24. Same on page # 872 should be Lk 5:16 but reads Lk 3:16. Also on page 1070, one of the titles of Jesus is "Source of LifeWay Network User...Acts 3:15" but Acts 3:15 just says "Source of Life." I guy at church said he found an Old Testament page where the footnotes are labeled wrong but I don't remember where? I will ask him today at Sunday School. I have not found any typos in the text it's self but their may be some. Just the 3 I mentioned make me believe that LifeWay/Holman rushed it to print?

 

Also on page 1073 Lazurus is listed as bing raised in Luke 11 not John 11. Here is a thread on the topic of typos from back in October it is listed on page 5 of the versions forum.
HCSB Typos

I gave my wife a leather bound thin line reference edition a few months ago and I gave my brother the Sportsman's edition. They haven't told me of any errors. I think it is just red ones and plain cover pew bibles.
I've used my red Hard back alot and the binding broke a few weeks ago. A little Gorilla Glue and it is bound better than ever.
I can't fault people for typos, my post are full of them. But then again I don't sell these post to people either.
