The NRSV Bible: Catholic Edition

Rating:
Summary: Politically correct but theologically incorrect
Review: Alas, one little omission that the editor doesn't really want you to know is that the NRSV, the New Revised Standard Version, is the politically correct alteration of the Bible. It has been condemned by the Vatican and is not permitted to be used.

For a good Catholic Bible, try the Ignatius Bible in RSV.

Rating:
Summary: Theologically sound and reasonably accurate translation!
Review: Although the NRSV of the Bible has been "disallowed" for liturgical and catechetical use - far from a "condemnation"! - in the Roman Catholic Church, it is still used widely by faithful Catholic lay persons and scholars. This translation stands as the best (relatively new!) rendering of the Hebrew and Greek texts - second only to the RSV.
