Synopsis

A new edition of the NRSV Cross Reference Bible, now available with the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books

The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is steadily increasing in popularity. It is highly respected among academics, including evangelicals, and popular in theological colleges, where it is preferred to the New International Version.

Recent press reports indicate that the NIV is receiving adverse publicity because of its archaic approach to gender-inclusive language. Some recent comments on the NIV:

Steve Chalke: ‘I don’t want to be associated with a Bible that’s a reaction against modern culture.’

Elaine Storkey: ‘It is frightening that some people in the States want a Bible that reinforces their prejudices rather than leading them into the light.’

The NRSV sensitively avoids these issues without any loss of accuracy or clarity, and retains the traditional style of referring to God as ‘He’ or ‘Him.’

This edition has been completely reset as part of a joint project with the design and production team of Cambridge University Press, and features an attractive, stylish and readable page design. It is the first UK edition of the NRSV to incorporate both cross references and the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books, and will be an ideal edition for students and serious Bible readers.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Popular, accurate and readable, the NRSV is the bible for all Christians

The New Revised Standard Version is the modern Bible translation most widely used by the Christian traditions. The result of fifteen years of careful work, it is formal enough to convey the meaning of the original Scripture texts, yet contemporary enough to meet the needs of Christians. It reflects the way people really wrote and spoke in Bible times and includes both men and women while retaining the masculine gender for God.

"The NRSV is a very fine translation both for study and for reading in public. It is now widely used and I am glad to have the opportunity of commending it."
George Carey, Archbishop of Canterbury

"The NRSV is a significant contribution to our work together (as Christians) as we seek to realize that unity to which we are called in Jesus Christ."
Basil Hume, Archbishop of Westminster
