What I Love About This Bible

• I love the immersive visual experience that draws you in. I could easily spend hours reading, studying, and enjoying all that this Bible has to offer. You will, too, especially if you are a fan of Drive Thru History.
• I love the in-depth articles that focus on a diversity of interesting topics relevant to the Bible such as the oils, perfumes, and cosmetics of ancient times.
• I love the “Digging Deeper” call-outs that explain a variety of artifacts and why they are important. A great way to further explore the Bible, especially if you’re into biblical archeology.
• I love how the CSB translation stays as literal as possible to the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it highly readable and easier to engage with its life-transforming message.

The CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible is for everyone–for the youngest readers, new believers, and long-time churchgoers. Recommended for anyone who wants to be visually immersed in the setting of God’s redemptive story! Makes a great gift, too!
