Synopses & Reviews
The New Revised Standard Version is an authorized revision of the Revised Standard Version of 1952, itself a revision of the 1611 King James Version. Since the publication of the RSV, significant advances had been made in the discovery and interpretation of the Bible documents. The Dead Sea texts of Isaiah and Habbakuk, together with other early copies of the Old Testaments books from the same area also presented new translation challenges. In order to take these discoveries into account, along with recent Semitic language advances, the New Revised Standard Version preparation began in 1974. This edition contains the Apocrypha, or Deuterocanonical Books in a convenient text format with translation footnotes.

Synopsis
The New Revised Standard Version was embarked upon in 1974 in order to take account of new Biblical documents from the Dead Sea Scrolls and other discoveries from that area as well as advances in Semitic language study. It is a revision of the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and thus in the tradition of the King James Version of 1611. This book presents the text of the Apocrypha with translation footnotes. The Apocrypha sometimes known as the Deuterocanonical Books are documents written around the same time as the books of the Old and New Testaments, but not accepted as canonical. They comprise a mixture of history, poety, narrative and homilies and are essential background reading for anyone studying the Bible, particularly the inter-testamental period.
