BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Holman Bible Publishers will release the CSB Women’s Study Bible on January 1, 2026, offering an unparalleled resource for female students of the Scriptures.

This full-color edition combines the highly readable Christian Standard Bible (CSB) text with robust study tools written by women scholars and ministry leaders. Holman Bible Publishers is the oldest Bible publisher in North America and an imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources.

“The CSB Women’s Study Bible was uniquely crafted and designed—from cover to cover—in order to help equip women to engage deeply and meaningfully with God’s Word,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “This project reflects not only our continued commitment to increasing biblical literacy through the curation of robust material found throughout this study Bible, but also our commitment to the stewardship and display of beauty within our products.”

Unlike recent women’s editions, this Bible features brand-new notes and articles written by an all-female team of conservative evangelical biblical, historical and linguistic scholars. Stefana Dan Laing, associate professor of divinity in patristics and spiritual formation at Beeson Divinity School, served as general editor.

“Readers will benefit from the expertise of Bible scholars who specialize in Old and New Testament language and theology, theologians who bring depth and clarity of doctrinal truth, and historians who bring forward aspects of God’s providential work over millennia in the lives of those called by His name,” said Laing.

Women’s ministry leaders from across the nation provided articles for application, ensuring relevant insights for today’s readers.

“The aim is to help women engage Scripture deeply and confidently,” said Ashley Gorman, one of the contributors. Highlights include:

• More than 8,000 study notes crafted by female scholars
• 96 profiles highlighting influential Christians throughout history
• Over 180 “Closer Look” callouts for deeper cultural and theological context
• More than 70 word studies of key biblical terms
• 34 full-length articles addressing essential truths and topics for women
• Rich visual elements: charts, timelines, maps and photography

“We pray this resource offers timeless truth with excellent, robust commentary written for women by women that addresses the needs of today,” said Mary Wiley, contributor and associate publisher for B&H Books.

Dr. Martin has served at CT since 2023 as Chief Impact Officer and most recently Chief Operating Officer.

WHEATON, Ill., November 19, 2025—The Christianity Today Board of Directors has unanimously elected Dr. Nicole Massie Martin as its next President and CEO during its annual fall meeting. Dr. Martin has more than 25 years of nonprofit, academic, ministry leadership, and church engagement experience. She has served at CT since 2023 as Chief Impact Officer and most recently Chief Operating Officer.

With the help of the firm CarterBaldwin Executive Search, the CT Board of Directors chose Dr. Martin after an extensive five-month search that included a global pool of 130 candidates. The search committee unanimously recommended Dr. Martin to the full board, which affirmed her appointment to replace the previous President and CEO Timothy Dalrymple. Thomas Addington, who served as Interim President since May, will remain at CT as Chief Operating Officer.

Dr. Martin graduated magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University and worked as a business analyst for Deloitte. She earned a Master of Divinity degree at Princeton Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, where she was also an Adjunct Professor of Ministry and Leadership Development.

Dr. Martin is the Founder and Executive Director of Soulfire International Ministries. She served at the American Bible Society as Chief Ministry Impact Officer, Senior Vice President, and Executive Director of Trauma Healing. She currently holds leadership positions on the boards of the National Association of Evangelicals, Fuller Theological Seminary, the Center for Christianity and Public Life, and PastorServe, a ministry that supports church leaders. She is also a member of the Salvation Army’s National Advisory Board.

Dr. Martin is a dynamic Bible teacher and author. Her published works include Nailing It: Why Successful Leadership Demands Suffering and Surrender; Made to Lead: Empowering Women for Ministry; and Leaning In, Letting Go: A Lenten Devotional. She lives in Baltimore and is married to her best friend, Dr. Mark Martin. They have two daughters.

“I, along with millions of Christians around the world, have deeply benefited from the impact of Christianity Today over the years,” said Dr. Martin. “Stepping into the position of leading this organization is a responsibility and calling I do not take lightly, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to steward this meaningful ministry. It is my desire to carry on Billy Graham’s vision at CT by serving the church through creative and redemptive storytelling, informative journalism from an evangelical Christian worldview, and resources and convenings that foster flourishing.”

Dr. Martin continued, “We have an important role to play in shining a light on the church’s gospel impact and on the ways it can strengthen its witness. We will elevate the wide-ranging, far-reaching stories and ideas of the kingdom of God in a way that unifies the church beyond ideological and political boundaries.”

Evangelist Billy Graham established Christianity Today as a magazine in 1956. It became a flagship publication for the American evangelical movement, equipping the church with news, commentary, and resources. Each month, CT reaches more than 4.5 million people around the globe across a variety of digital and print media.

Dr. Leighton Ford, former Associate Evangelist and Vice President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said, “Christlike leadership is humble. It is also wise, and so with enthusiasm I applaud the selection of Dr. Nicole Martin to steward and guide the legacy of my brother-in-law Billy Graham.”

Dr. Ford continued, “When CT was founded 70 years ago, we were at a promising but uncharted season for the church and the gospel worldwide. Now again we are called, like Joshua, to ‘a way we have not gone before.’ We need a rare leader the likes of Dr. Martin who listens deeply to God’s word in Scripture and sensitively to God’s mission to the world. I believe that with biblically informed imagination she will magnify the truth and beauty and goodness of our Lord in a way that will unify his followers and point people to him.”

CT’s Executive Board Chairman, Bishop Claude Alexander, said, “The Christianity Today Board of Directors is excited and united in the selection of Dr. Nicole Martin as our next CEO. Through prayer and an extensive search process, she rose as the clear and compelling choice for this role. She brings unquestioned commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ and an unrivaled ability to promote and defend its claims effectively across various constituencies.”

“I am thrilled about Dr. Nicole Martin’s appointment to lead Christianity Today,” said Walter Kim, President of the National Association of Evangelicals and a member of the CT board and executive search committee. “Her leadership extends far beyond her impressive experience and deep understanding of the media’s influence. As a vital member of the National Association of Evangelicals’ executive committee, Dr. Martin compellingly exemplifies the qualities of Christian leadership our times demand—a profound love for God, unwavering commitment to the truth and grace of Jesus Christ, and a Spirit-led vision for ministry. She will be an extraordinary blessing to Christianity Today and to the global work of God’s kingdom.”

AVAILABLE JANUARY 12, 2026

Have you ever considered building your family the way God builds his?

• Realistically shares the costs and joys of both adoption and foster care for families to prayerfully consider.
• Offers a robust framework and actionable strategies for how churches can support adoptive and foster families through the “Rope Holder” model.
