Publisher's Synopsis
This edition is a member of Cambridge's family of 'standard text' Bibles. It uses the popular New Revised Standard Version, the translation that combines broad scholarship with up-to-the-minute, inclusive language. The NRSV is the fruit of over 15 years' work by international scholars from the major denominations of the Christian Church. Already accepted by the international academic community, it is used in churches and Bible Study groups throughout the English-speaking world. The NRSV is a complete and thorough revision of the RSV - with the added benefit of the knowledge gained from the Dead Sea Scrolls and other recent archaeological and biblical insights.
