New Revised Standard Version. As far as translations go, the NRSV is a standard scholarly and accurate rendering of the original languages. In fact, the NRSV is the standard translation used in the following basic Bible study courses – Bethel, Crossways, Kerygma, and Disciple. That said, there are other equally powerful translations used in other study Bibles including the Catholic Study Bible (New American Bible).The goal is to have a high quality study Bible that you will use. So, if you already own a high quality study Bible with a different translation such as the NIV, don’t hesitate to use it or feel like you should replace it. All the Bibles below can be found on www.amazon.com or www.christianbook.com for significant discounts.
