The NRSV Updated Edition Bible is intended to be the world’s most meticulously researched, rigorously reviewed, and faithfully accurate modern English-language Bible translation available to date. Discoveries of new texts, revised scholarly insights, heightened comprehension of ancient languages and traditions within their cultural context compelled the National Council of Churches to commission the Society of Biblical Literature to conduct this review and update. It is appropriate for use in ecumenical and interfaith contexts—Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish—for worship, devotional practices, or study.

Excerpt from To the Reader From the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA:

"Motivated by love and respect for Scripture, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) hopes that you will find this New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVue) suitable to inspire, inform, and guide daily living. The goal of the NRSVue is to offer a readable and accurate version of the Holy Bible to the global English-speaking community for public worship and personal study, for scholarship and study in classrooms, and for informing faith and action in response to God.

Together with religious leaders from diverse communities of faith, we join in the conviction that the Scriptures offer good news of God’s love—wisdom to guide, hope to sustain, truth to empower, forgiveness to change, and peace to bless all of creation."
