Editing Revised Standard Version (section)

=== Reader's Digest Bible ===
In 1982, ''[[Reader's Digest]]'' published a special edition of the RSV that was billed as a condensed edition of the text. A team of seven editors led by [[John Evangelist Walsh]] produced the manuscript. The ''Reader's Digest'' edition was intended for those who did not read the Bible or who read it infrequently; it was not intended as a replacement of the full RSV text. In this version, 55% of the Old Testament and 25% of the New Testament were cut. Familiar passages such as the [[Lord's Prayer]], [[Psalm 23]], and the [[Ten Commandments]] were retained. For those who wanted the full RSV, ''Reader's Digest'' provided a list of publishers that sold the complete RSV at that time.
