Description:
Few Bible
translations achieve the degree of respect and acceptance
enjoyed by the Revised Standard Version over the past half
century. Now, with all the Bible's literal accuracy and
dignity preserved, we welcome the New RSV. Dramatic
archeological discoveries shed new light on our
understanding of ancient languages while, no less
dramatically, our own use of language changes, too. The most
broadly representative translation team yet assembled worked
with these changes to bring us the NRSV -- a translation as
literal as possible.
Key changes include:
-
Replacement of archaic words
-
Revision
of English words that have changed in meaning
-
Correction of confusing word order; Use of common-gender
words where intended
-
Improvement in the sound and clarity of text when read
aloud
-
Accurate,
understandable, and reverent. A new standard for all --
the NRSV.
