The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is a contemporary, ecumenical biblical translation. It is based upon the newest manuscripts and archaelogical finds (including the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran Cave).
The NRSV has been acclaimed by members of many denomination. It was developed by members of a committee that included Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican and Protestant Christians. It is the official bible used by some churches in Canada.
There are different versions of the NRSV Bible, for different denominations, including: "NRSV Catholic Edition Anglicized text" and "NRSV with Apocyrpha".
Certain denominations have criticized the bible for its use of gender-inclusive language, for example, "Brothers and Sisters" is used in place of "Brother".
