From the Publisher
The New Revised Standard Version – Catholic Edition
The New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE) is a Bible translation approved for use by the Catholic Church, receiving the imprimatur of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1991. The NRSV-CE includes all 73 books of the Catholic Bible, including the deuterocanonical books, in the traditional Catholic order.
Church leaders and religion scholars from a wide range of denominations trust the NRSV’s accuracy and praise its readability. Read what some of the most respected religious voices in the country have to say about the NRSV.
“I view the NRSV translation to be the finest English Bible we have today. Its scholarship is impeccable. The English is accurate, approachable, and readable. It is excellent for both public and private use. I recommend it highly.” — Richard J. Foster, author Celebration of Discipline
“A good translation of the Bible is one that doesn’t sound like something printed in double columns on India paper but like this morning’s edition of the New York Times. Surprisingly often that is how the NRSV sounds to me.” — Frederick Buechner, author of Secrets in the Dark
“Ever since it was first published, I have recommended it to students as the most reliable English translation for study purposes, and as the best for public reading in church.” — Marcus Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity
