By JILL WAGGONER, Lifeway
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Holman Bibles, an imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources, has announced the re-release of the CSB Baker Illustrated Study Bible, a widely used study resource designed to help readers better understand Scripture.
“The response to the original CSB Baker Illustrated Study Bible demonstrated that there remains a strong appetite for resources that help readers not only understand Scripture more deeply, but also see the rich historical, theological and cultural context surrounding the biblical text,” said Andy McLean, publisher for Holman Bibles. “Because of that strong reception, republishing this trusted resource in the CSB felt like a natural opportunity to place an exceptional study tool into the hands of a new generation of Bible readers.”
Intended for both individual and ministry use, the CSB Baker Illustrated Study Bible includes a range of supplemental materials such as study notes, articles, maps, charts and illustrations, with contributions from more than two hundred evangelical Christian scholars. The study Bible was last released in 2018.
Holman Bible Publishers is the oldest Bible publisher in North America, publishing high-quality Bibles and reference resources that are trustworthy, accessible and useful for the pursuit of lifelong discipleship. Print and digital releases include the award-winning “CSB Explorer Bible for Kids,” “The CSB She Reads Truth Bible,” “The CSB Oswald Chambers Bible” and the “Rainbow Study Bible.” Holman Bibles is a subsidiary of B&H Publishing Group, an imprint of Lifeway Christian Resources.
University of Mobile unveils updates brand identity for a new generation of Kingdom leaders
By KATHY DEAN, University of Mobile
MOBILE, Ala. – The University of Mobile has unveiled a refreshed brand featuring a new institutional tagline – “For the Kingdom. To the World.” – and student-focused campaign theme, “Designed for More,” along with updated logos and visual elements.
University leaders say the refreshed brand reinforces the Baptist university’s commitment to Christ-centered learning and spiritual formation while preparing students for lives of purpose, leadership and service through the integration of faith and academics.
“The University of Mobile is not changing who we are – we are clarifying and amplifying who we have always been and strengthening how we communicate our mission for the future,” said University of Mobile President Charles Smith. “At our core, we exist to multiply Kingdom leaders for the glory of God and the good of the world. This refreshed brand helps us communicate that mission with clarity, consistency and purpose.”
Smith said the update reflects the university’s identity as “a Christ-centered academic community propelled by the gospel” and its commitment to recruiting, educating, discipling and deploying the next generation of Kingdom leaders.
“We believe students are designed by God for more than ordinary lives,” Smith said. “They are created with purpose, gifted for leadership and called to make an impact for the glory of God and the good of the world. Through the University of Mobile experience, we want students to discover that calling and be prepared to live it out wherever God leads them.”
‘Designed for More’
The university’s new campaign theme, “Designed for More,” speaks directly to students searching for purpose, meaning and calling.
Rooted in the belief that every person is intentionally created by God, the campaign emphasizes that students are designed for more than ordinary lives — they are designed to grow, lead, serve and make an impact through Christ-centered learning and community.
University leaders say the campaign reflects the heart of the University of Mobile experience: helping students become all they are designed to be so they can pursue all they are meant to do.
‘For the Kingdom. To the World.’
The university’s new institutional tagline, “For the Kingdom. To the World.,” reflects UM’s commitment to preparing graduates who will use their professions, gifts and influence to advance God’s Kingdom wherever He calls them.
The phrase reinforces the university’s longstanding emphasis on the Great Commission and sending graduates into the world grounded in truth, equipped through Christ-centered learning, and prepared to serve with conviction and purpose.
University leaders say the refreshed brand identity reflects the distinctives that have long defined the University of Mobile experience: the integration of faith and academics, a relational campus community where students are personally known, a beautiful campus environment that feels like home, and a Great Commission focus that prepares graduates to impact the world for Christ.
