“THE NRSV IS ONE OF THE PREMIER TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE; INDEED,
IT HAS BEEN A STANDARD FOR ALL OTHERS.”

| May 22, 2008 | Nilesh | Hi I have always read the NKJV BIBLE and have some doubts about one thing. In the book of John chapter 3, it mentions in 2-3 places where Jesus seemed to baptize people. But in Chapter 4 in brackets it says although Jesus didn't baptize but his disciples did. I just wanted to know if the NKJV has some errors in it. Because it is unclear from what is written in the bible. I mean was there a reason Jesus didn't baptize people. |
| March 25, 2008 | Keith | You should allow biblegatway.com to use both the NRSV and the old RSV. So people can search and compare online |
| March 20, 2008 | Mr. Paraskeva | As a translation headed by the legendary Dr. Metzger, the NRSV stands alone as the most scholarly and authoritative English Bible available; I instinctively trust the NRSV. To Harper Collins, I would like to express thanks for producing these wonderful editions, and look forward to a reference edition. |
| March 4, 2008 | lisa hazen | The best translation I have encountered. |
| October 20, 2007 | Will Fitzgerald | I love the NRSV; it balances a serious scholarship, the literary tradition of the Bible in English, and a naturalness in expression that is unrivaled in English. I'm saddened that it's nearly impossible to find online resources for the NRSV, which further marginalizes this translation. I hope that the NCC and their publisher, HarperSanFrancisco, will come to its senses and realize that it is in their best interest to make online versions of the NRSV and even the RSV as widespread as possible. |
| October 11, 2007 | Spencer Taylor | I am enormously disappointed that the Council of Churches has pulled the approval from the University of Virginia to post the RSV online. This lacks wisdom and Christian charity. In an age when young people find information on the internet, the Council of Churches has gone backwards. In many cases, people buy hard copies because they've interacted with internet copies first. I know I did. But I no longer can easily access an online version for personal study, copy/paste, etc. when I don't have my Bible at work, etc. Please reverse this short-sighted decision.

| September 10, 2007 | JOHN GREEN | If i don't have my NRSV Life Application Bible beside me i feel naked. I am looking for a version of the gospels which is harmonised. In the version of the NRSV i read, at teh end of the gospel of John there is a list of the 250 events of Christ's life sequenced in the chronological order of those events. What i am looking for is a version of the gospels where the scriptures follow those harmonised events. Do you knowe where i could direct this inquiry further please. God bless you.

| March 22, 2007 | The Rev. Mifflin Dove Jr. | As rector of an Episcopal parish, I find the NRSV to be the best translation for public worship. It is clear, inclusive and seeks to be faithful to the original Hebrew and Greek. For public reading, it is dignified and easy to follow. This is a great translation for worship, private devotion and serious study. |
| March 5, 2007 | Rev. Lota C. Jones | I've been using the NRSV since seminary training. Although I refer to other more contemporary translations on occasion, the NRSV is the translation of choice for its accuracy and clarity. |
