The '''New Revised Standard Version''' is an update of the [[Revised Standard Version]] that was released in 1989. Although it is the translation preferred by Bible scholars, it has not gained acceptance among either evangelicals or Catholics. NRSV's perspective is "ecumenical" rather than Christian, according to the publisher.

NRSV is owned by the [[liberal]] National Council of Churches. This translation modernized some of the archaic language in the RSV, but it also injected some gender-neutral language and changed the prophesy in Isaiah about Mary, the mother of Jesus, from "virgin" to "young woman." To address evangelical objections, the NCC licensed the text of RSV to Crossway Publishers, which produced the [[English Standard Version]] in 2001.
