 About the RSV
The Revised Standard Version of the Bible is an authorized revision of the American Standard Version, published in 1901, which was a revision of the King James Version, published in 1611.
The publication of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, was authorized by vote of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. in 1951.
The present revision is based on the consonantal Hebrew and Aramaic text as fixed early in the Christian era and revised by Jewish scholars (the "Masoretes") of the sixth to ninth centuries.

 English Revised Version (1881)
The New Testament version commonly called the "Revised Version" (RV) or the "English Revised Version" (ERV) of 1881, of which the American Standard Version was an American edition.
This version is a revision of the King James version made on the basis of Westcott and Hort 1881 and Tregelles 1857.
The readings adopted by the committee of revisers were presented in a continuous Greek text in Palmer 1881, which includes marginal notes showing every departure from the Greek text presumed to underlie the King James version (for which see Scrivener 1881).

The Revised Version (or English Revised Version) of the Bible is a late 19th-century British revision of the King James Version of 1611.
While the text of the translation itself is widely regarded as excessively literal and flat, the Revised Version is significant in the history of English Bible translation for many reasons.

 Revised Edition Clauses In Book Contracts
Such decision to do a revised version, while generally belonging to the publisher, may also invest the publisher with the discretion of whether or not to engage the author of the original work to do the revised edition.
If the original author refuses or is unable to do the revisions, the provision usually allows the publisher to bring on a new author to do the revision and the original agreement may allow the new author’s royalty and advance against that royalty to be deducted from that of the original author.
What may happen however, is that the contract may provide that returns of the original version may be charged against the author’s account on the revised version, assuming the author is the author of the revised version.

 American Revised Version - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
But it was hoped that the first published edition of the English Revised Version would not be considered definitive and that in the future such American proposals as had stood the test of public discussion might be incorporated into the text.
It may be questioned whether the differences between the two Revisions are great enough to counterbalance the annoyance and confusion resulting from the existence of two standard versions in the same language.
No American Standard Revised Version Apocrypha was attempted, a particularly unfortunate fact, as the necessity for the study of the Apocrypha has become imperative and the English Revised Version Apocrypha is not a particularly good piece of work.

 Revised Version of 1611 - Article
If the claim of no change or revision of a translation were valid, then believers must use the first translation into a language regardless or whether it is an accurate translation or not.
In their preface, they stated that "revising that which hath been laboured by others deserveth certainly much respect and esteem." Evidently, the KJV translators had enough knowledge to know that revision of a translation does not involve the changing of God's preserved Word in the original languages.
The former translations and revised version of 1611 provide the proof that the KJV-only view is incorrect in many of its claims.

 NRSV: To the Reader
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.
In the course of time, the King James Version came to be regarded as "the Authorized Version." With good reason it has been termed "the noblest monument of English prose," and it has entered, as no other book has, into the making of the personal character and the public institutions of the English-speaking peoples.
The (British) Revised Version of the Bible was published in 1881-1885; and the American Standard Version, its variant embodying the preferences of the American scholars associated with the work, was published, as was mentioned above, in 1901.

 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.
Here the perverted text used in the modern versions of Scripture is used as a powerful argument by Moslems against the divinity of Christ, whom they debase to the status of a mere prophet.
Another Islamic author seizes upon the "evidence" of some modern versions of Scripture which state that the last verses of Mark, chapter 16, are not authentic, to cast doubt upon Christ’s ascension.

 Revised Standard Version (1946)
The Revised Standard Version of the New Testament purported to be a revision of the American Standard Version, although very little of the ASV remains in the RSV.
For example, in Genesis 22:18 the RSV renders an ambiguous sentence as "by your descendents shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves" contrary to the interpretation given by the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3:8 and 3:16.
At the time that it was replaced by the New Revised Standard Version in 1990, the RSV was one of the least popular versions in America, having only about 5 percent of the market share in Bibles.

 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.
If another version of this nature is made in the future with an equal number of omissions, and a further weakening of words already weakened, and a weakening of an equal number of words of equally vital importance, we shall have very little left.

Although the American Standard Version (1901) had used "Jehovah" to render the Tetragrammaton (the sound of Y being represented by J and the sound of W by V, as in Latin), for two reasons the Committees that produced the RSV and the NRSV returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version.
This new version seeks to preserve all that is best in the English Bible as it has been known and used through the years.
It is the hope and prayer of the translators that this version of the Bible may continue to hold a large place in congregational life and to speak to all readers, young and old alike, helping them to understand and believe and respond to its message.

The 1881 Revised Version is not a revision of the KJB, instead it is a replacement of the Textus Receptus with the Gnostic Alexandrian Texts.
The manuscripts that the modern versions rely upon are all from the Gnostic Alexandrian school in Egypt.
The modern versions are based only upon 45 of those manuscripts, which means that the modern versions represent less than 1% of the existing manuscripts.

 The apostasy of the English Revised Version   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The apostasy of Westcott and Hort and the theological carelessness of other members of the Revision Committee is further evident in their attitude toward a Christ-denying Unitarian who was invited to participate.
After he participated in a communion service with the other revisers, a letter was published in The Times (July 11, 1870) in which he proudly declared that though he had received communion, he had refused to recite the Creed since he would not compromise his "principles" as one who denied the deity of Jesus Christ.
It is very significant that in the enlarged edition Smith gloried in the various changes in the Westcott-Hort text and the Revised Version which made it simpler for him to dispute the deity of Jesus Christ.

 Revised Standard Version
V.E. Howard says, "You will notice that the Revised Standard Version changed the translation from 'Thou' to 'You,' meaning, in their subtle design, to teach that Jesus was man ('you') and not the only begotten Son of God.
As such, and as was to be expected, it was "torn limb from limb" by those who saw it as a threat to their cherished, virtually "inspired," versions.
The translators were even accused of having connections with the Communist Party, and that this version was part of a "communist plot" to subvert Christianity in America, with the ultimate goal being to overthrow our nation.
