What does NRSB mean in RELIGION

Description

The New Revised Standard Bible serves as an authoritative Bible translation for both English-speaking Protestant churches and Jewish synagogues. It follows extremely closely to the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, as it attempts to capture each word's meaning in an exact way while also being faithful to the original language syntax. With a team of numerous scholars, leading denominational experts, and other respected professionals overseeing its translation process; this translation has been accepted by many mainline denominations including Anglican/Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodists, Baptists, United Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church U.S., Disciples of Christ and Quakers. The NRSB pays special attention to gender neutrality in its translations by maintaining proper gender-inclusive language in accordance with current norms. It also preserves classic biblical terms such as “Father” when referring to God. Additionally, The New Revised Standard Version seeks to expand upon archaisms found in older versions such as “thee” or “thou” in order to make it easier for modern readers to understand what is written. Overall this version focuses on making sure that reading the bible is both approachable yet accurate. In doing so it has become one of the most reliable Bibles out there today despite being released nearly three decades ago in 1989.
