| Q: |
What does the (NRSV) in the product name mean?
|
| A: |
NRSV is the abbreviation of New Revised Standard Version of the Bible,
that first appeared in 1989 and has received the widest acclaim and broadest support
from academics and church leaders of any modern English translation. It is the only
Bible translation that is as widely ecumenical, its Translation Committee consisting
of thirty men and women who are among the top scholars in America today from Protestant
denominations, the Roman Catholic church, the Greek Orthodox Church and a Jewish scholar.
The NRSV continues the tradition of William Tyndale, the KJV, the ASV, and the RSV.
The NRSV stands out among the many translations because it is "as literal as possible"
in adhering to the ancient texts and only "as free as necessary" to make the meaning
clear in graceful, understandable English. It draws on newly available sources that increase
our understanding of many previously obscure biblical passages. These sources include
new-found manuscripts, the Dead Sea Scrolls, other texts, inscriptions, and archaeological
finds from the ancient Near East, and new understandings of Greek and Hebrew grammar.
Improvements over the RSV are of four different kinds:
- updating the language of the RSV, by replacing archaic forms of speech addressed to
God (Thee, Thou, wast, dost, etc.), and by replacing words whose meaning has changed
significantly since the RSV translation (for example, Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians
11.25 that he was "stoned" once)
- making the translation more accurate
- helping it to be more easily understood, especially when it is read out loud,
- making it clear where the original texts intend to include all humans, male and
female, and where they intend to refer only to the male or female gender. |
