H. Lawrence, C. S. Lewis and Richard Rohr.

Reviews
* 'I'm glad to have a variety of translations available for Bible reading - but when I want to do serious Bible study, I always consult the NRSV. It avoids the theological prejudice I sense in some translations, drawing from a broadly ecumenical group of top-notch scholars.' * Brian McLaren *
* I view the NRSV translation to be the finest English Bible we have today. Its scholarship is impeccable. The English is accurate, approachable, and readable. I recommend it highly.' * Richard J. Foster *
The NRSV is my first choice, both for my college classes and for my own study and devotion. The careful scholarship of the translation, the generosity of the pronouns, and the invaluable textual notations make this translation my most trusted friend in preaching, teaching, worship and prayer. -- Barbara Brown Taylor
The best, simply the best. -- John Dominic Crossan
