The second brought certain scriptural passages of liturgical significance into accord with the later Liturgiam Authenticam, the Church's 2001 document concerning the right use of the vernacular in the liturgy. The first Catholic RSV lightly adapted the mainline RSV for Catholic use. The second Catholic edition of the Revised Standard Version is serviceable, far better than the NAB, but is essentially an ad hoc project. The New American Bible, the Bible most commonly used in Catholic liturgy, is frequently clunky and offers questionable translations of important passages. Most important for our purposes, evangelicals of a conservative persuasion issued the English Standard Version in 2001.ĭo we need yet another Bible? Catholics certainly do. There are also the Green Bible, the Life Recovery Bible, the Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible, the American Patriot's Bible, and many others.

Wright and David Bentley Hart have done their own translations of the New Testament. In the Common English Version (2011), mainline scholars and progressive evangelicals produced a translation in line with their theological and linguistic leanings. In 2005, the Today's New International Version was issued as an inclusive-language replacement for the older NIV. When I was growing up in the eighties and nineties, there were three dominant translations: Mainline Protestants had the Revised Standard Version (the major American Bible in the Tyndale-King James tradition), and then the inclusive-language New Revised Standard Version Catholics had the New American Bible and evangelicals had the New International Version.īut because language evolves, because churches and individuals are never quite happy with existing translations, and because Bibles sell whether or not they are actually read, Bible translations and editions have proliferated rapidly. Of the making of Bibles, it seems, there is no end. The Augustine Bible: English Standard Version, Catholic Edition IGNATIUS, 1,2.32 PAGES, $49-95
