Review Quotes

"[The NRSVue]. . . reflects the latest scholarship while being sensitive to cultural changes on issues such as gender, race and disability. It also echoes a more distinctly English tradition which will be welcome to many who are the cultural descendants of those who still treasure the King James Version."

"I have long regarded the NRSV as the gold standard of English Bible translation. . . This edition's care over word choices and language makes it very appropriate for reading aloud and for personal Bible reading or use in Bible study groups."

"The finest English Bible we have today."

"The NRSVue improves upon the excellence of the NRSV in several subtle ways. Every serious Bible reader should check it out....[it] communicates the Word of God most engagingly and winsomely to my ear. Because of this, the NRSVue is now at the top of my translation ranking."

"Thirty years of advances in textual analysis make it more accurate than any other translation.... All of which means the NRSVue now stands at the pinnacle of English Bible translations."
