The Revised Standard Version of the Bible is an authorized revision of the American Standard Version of 1901 and the King James Version of 1611. Embodying the best results of Biblical scholarship, this Version expresses the meaning of the Scriptures in English diction that is designed for use in public and private worship and preserves the simplicity and beauty of the King James Version.
It contains no changes in doctrine or fundamental concepts. Inaccuracies and errors of the former versions have been corrected as more ancient manuscripts have become available. Words that have changed in meaning, and are therefore misleading, have been replaced by the language of today.
This Version is the work of the Standard Bible Committee, appointed in 1929 by the International Council of Religious Education on behalf of the forty Protestant denominations associated in that body. The making of the Version was authorized by the Council in 1937 and the New Testament published February 11, 1946. The Old Testament and the Bible containing the Old and the New Testaments were published September 30, 1952, publication having been authorized in 1951 by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.
Thirty-two of the foremost Biblical scholars and teachers have served as members of the Committee, and they have secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty representatives of the cooperating denominations.
