On Aug. 20, the Charleston Southern University campus will come alive with excited and nervous new students and parents. And like every other year, they’ll be greeted with smiles, cold drinks and food in abundance.
This year, LifeWay Christian Resources is also donating a Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) to every new freshman on campus. In fact, they are donating HCSBs to freshmen in 20-30 schools of differing denominational backgrounds across the U.S., according to Jedediah Coppenger, LifeWay’s brand manager for the HCSB.
“There are a number of good translations out there, but the fact that [the HCSB] uses some updated insights from 21st century scholarship and up-to-date speech patterns is really helpful, especially to younger college students,” said Coppenger.
“CSU’s incoming freshmen will appreciate this gift from LifeWay,” said Rick Brewer, vice president for student affairs and athletics. “More importantly, students will be challenged to read and experience the truth of God’s word.” – CSU
