"[3] The CSB relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.

The CSB incorporates advances in biblical scholarship to improve upon translation decisions, word choice, and style.

Work on the CSB revision was undertaken by the Translation and Review Team, a trans-denominational group of 21 conservative Evangelical Christian biblical scholars.

Backgrounds represented include Southern Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, conservative Anglican, and non-denominational Evangelical churches.

Adjustments affected less than 1% of the 2017 text, and focused on edits to footnotes, cross references, punctuation, and word/phrase choices.

[12] The CSB Translation and Review Team used the latest available Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts.
