 Dr. King Online - Revised Standard Version Considered
When this self-styled Revised Standard Version first left the press and was presented to the gullible public, in a half million dollar publicity campaign, those who were for it either took the floor, or were given the privilege of the floor, and then did most of the talking.
Thus the Revised Standard Version wrongly interprets the word Almah as a young woman, and the King James Version interprets it correctly as a virgin.

To summarize in a single sentence: the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible is an authorized revision of the Revised Standard Version, published in 1952, which was a revision of the American Standard Version, published in 1901, which, in turn, embodied earlier revisions of the King James Version, published in 1611.

This version was published in 1989, thirty-seven years after the publication of the original Revised Standard Version.
The biggest problem with the New Revised Standard Version’s gender-inclusive language, however, is that it is not what is found in the original language manuscripts.
Perhaps the most serious shortcoming of the new version is that some changes have been made purely upon the conjectures of the translators without the support of a single example of manuscript evidence.

RSV reads at Romans 9:5: "To them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ.

 The Revised Standard Version and Islam
The use of the corrupted version of Scripture is understandably cited by Moslem apologists as proof beyond dispute that the Bible has been corrupted by human devising.

 New Revised Standard Version
This is a revision of the Revised Standard Version on the basis of the UBS third edition (see Aland Black Metzger Wikren Martini 1975).
It modernizes and simplifies the language of the RSV, and also revises it in the interest of "gender-inclusiveness." In general, the translation is less literal than the RSV, but more literal than the New International Version.
The RSV had rendered it "a young woman shall conceive" (future); but the NRSV has "the young woman is with child" (present), which effectively prevents the Christological interpretation (and there is no footnote to inform the reader that the RSV's "shall conceive" is a possibility).

 PSALM 151, NRSV APOCRYPHA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
A Hebrew version of psalm is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls (11 QPs).
This Hebrew version is made up of two distinct psalms: Ps 151A (=LXX Ps 151) is a poem based on 1 Sam 16.1-13, about David the shepherd becoming Israel's king, with a superscription; this psalm is truncated in the Greek and Syriac versions.
Ps 151B is the fragmentary beginning of another psalm, also with a superscription, that must have followed Ps 151A in the original scroll; it apparently deals with David's contest with Goliath (1 Sam 17), a story that is also the subject of LXX Ps 151.6-7.

Alas, he was disappointed when I informed him that this was not a distinctively Harper Collins translation; it is in fact a study version of the New Revised Standard Version, one of the dominant translations at use in church and scholarship today.
The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is an updating of the respected and established Revised Standard Version, which still has life as the preferred text of many senior scholars.
Other versions I've read have bored me to tears, obviously had mangled translations (from the perspective of a language student), were simply very poorly written and, in one memorable occasion, were factually incorrect in their explanation of historical context.

 The New Revised Standard Version: A Review
By and large the RSV was accepted by the more liberal denominations, with a few conservative ones and many individuals using it because it was the only major modern version that they had at the time.
Whether this version is ideal for personal Bible reading or not will depend largely on who is the reader, his (or her!) theological views (if any!), and other considerations.
Many of the footnotes in the RSV are decidedly helpful to those who want to study the Bible in detail, but the liberal presuppositions of the NCC and its translators should be kept in mind by the Bible-believing reader.
