Editing Revised Standard Version (section)

=== Second Edition of the New Testament ===
Some of these changes to the RSV New Testament had already been introduced in the 1965-66 RSV Catholic Edition, and their introduction into the RSV itself was done to pave the way for the publication of the Common Bible in 1973.

The Standard Bible Committee intended to prepare a second edition of the Old Testament,<ref>"English Versions of the Bible". From ''The New Oxford Annotated Bible, Revised Standard Version'', New York: Oxford University Press, 1973.</ref> but those plans were scrapped in 1974, when the National Council of Churches voted to authorize [[New Revised Standard Version|a full revision of the RSV]].
