The New Revised Standard Version is ideal for private and public reading, group study and academic work.

The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is an authoritative, accessible, accurate, and contemporary version of the Scriptures, designed for use by the whole Christian church.

The language of the NRSV is modern, yet dignified, reflecting the long tradition of translation with which it is associated. This Anglicised Edition adopts British usage for spelling, grammar and punctuation, and the phrasing employs the most common forms in use in the United Kingdom and other countries where this style is preferred.
