Learn the Story of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible
(The October 23 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Standard_Version
(BLOGGER'S NOTE: Today is the 50th anniversary of the day I bought my first bible. It was an RSV with red letters for the words of Jesus. Came with a faux black letter cover. On onion skin paper!)
The RSV posed the first serious challenge to the popularity of the King James Version (KJV). It was intended to be a readable and literally accurate modern English translation. The intention was not only to create a clearer version of the Bible for the English-speaking church but also to "preserve all that is best in the English Bible as it has been known and used through the centuries" and "to put the message of the Bible in simple, enduring words that are worthy to stand in the great Tyndale-King James tradition."
