The '''New Revised Standard Version''' is an extensively revised update of the [[Revised Standard Version]] that was released in 1989. Although it is the Bible translation preferred by academics and scholars due to it being based on what are often considered the oldest and best manuscripts, and its strict adherence to word-for-word translation; it has not gained acceptance among either evangelicals or Catholics. The publisher describes NRSV's perspective as "[[Ecumenical Movement|ecumenical]]" rather than Christian.
