Editing New Revised Standard Version (section)

== NRSV Catholic Edition (NRSV-CE) ==
The '''New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition''' ('''NRSV-CE''') is an edition of the NRSV for Catholics. It contains all the [[Books of the Bible|canonical books of Scripture]] accepted by the Catholic Church arranged in the traditional Catholic order. Because of the presence of Catholic scholars on the original NRSV translation team, no other changes to the text were needed.{{r|Harper|p=x|q=...Because of this Catholic presence no change in the translation was requested for this edition. The only exceptions are the Book of Esther, which exists in two different forms that are explained below, and the Book of Daniel, which includes the deuterocanonical portions that are listed below...In this Catholic edition, however, the translation of the Greek portions [of Esther] has been inserted at the appropriate places of the translation of the Hebrew form of the book.}}

An Anglicized Text form of the NRSV-CE, embodying the preferences of users of [[British English]], is also available from various publishers.

=== Liturgical use and approval ===
The NRSV-CE received the [[imprimatur]] of the [[United States Conference of Catholic Bishops]] and the [[Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops]] in 1991, granting official approval for Catholic use in private study and devotional reading.

In 2007, the Canadian conference and the Vatican approved a modification of the NRSV for lectionary use beginning the following year.<ref>{{cite web | title=Revised lectionary approved for Canada | date=August 24, 2007 | publisher=Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops | url=http://www.cccb.ca/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2510&Itemid=1062&lang=eng | access-date=September 3, 2015 | url-status=dead | archive-date=September 23, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923201255/http://www.cccb.ca/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2510&Itemid=1062&lang=eng}}</ref> The NRSV-CE, along with the [[Revised Standard Version]] (RSV), is also one of the texts adapted and quoted in the English-language edition of the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]].<ref>{{cite book | first1=Charlene | last1=Altemose | title=What You Should Know about the Catechism of the Catholic Church | page=37 | year=1994 | publisher=Liguori Publications | isbn=9780892436477 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qZGph1PtTl4C&q=%22new%20revised%20standard%20version%22 | quote=''The Revised Standard Version'' (RSV) and ''The New Revised Standard Version'' (NRSV) are the editions of the Bible used in the ''Catechism''.}}</ref>
