Jumia Books RSV Revised Standard Version Bible

The Revised Standard Version (RSV) Bible  is a good bible for your study of the word of God.

The Revised Standard Version is a revision of the King James Version, the Revised Version, and American Standard Version. This text is intended for both private reading and public worship.

The Revised Standard Version (RSV) is a comprehensive revision of the King James Version, the Revised Version of 1881-1885, and the American Standard Version of 1901, published in stages around the middle of the 20th century.  It aims to present a literally accurate translation of the Bible in modern English.  The panel of scholars who worked on the translation used the 17th edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek text for the New Testament, and the traditional Hebrew Masoretic Text for the Old Testament. However, they amended the Hebrew in a number of places. In the Book of Isaiah, they sometimes followed readings found in the then newly discovered Dead Sea Scrolls. It is a readable and literally accurate modern English translation.

It remains a favorite translation for many Christians and it is easily understood because it uses simple and enduring words.
