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.

One Good Bible,
By M Tahaney "Buttonguy" (Port Arthur, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NRSV Ministry/Pew Bible (Hardcover)
I can see why this Bible was chosen for the churches. Of all the different Bibles I have this one is by far the best and clearest. It's a shame they call it a "pew Bible" because that stops people from having it in their homes where it should be. The print, the pages, the binding are excellent. Just an excellent Bible.

Nice Bibles,

This review is from: NRSV Ministry/Pew Bible (Hardcover)
I bought several of these bibles for my Sunday School classroom. The bibles are attractive and reasonable priced. The bibles we had were not the same version as the curriculum and were falling apart so I expect happy children this fall!
