Revised Standard Version

The Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (also known as the RSV-CE) is a revision of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the Bible. It does not include gender-inclusive language.

The RSV-CE was translated from the original languages for an American audience around the 1940s by the National Council of the Churches of Christ, and then adapted for Catholic use by the Catholic Biblical Association in 1966.

Neither the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops nor Rome ( Roman Catholic Church) approves the New Revised Standard Version. Acceptable translations include the RSV-CE ( Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition), widely available as The Ignatius Bible by Ignatius Press, and a modified version of the NAB. This modified version is currently used in the Roman Catholic US Liturgy.

1 Liturgical use in United States

There is only one text approved for use in the United States. It is contained in the Lectionaries approved for Sundays & Feasts and for Weekdays by the USCCB and recognized by the Holy See. It is a version of the NAB with revised Psalms and New Testament (1988, 1991), with some changes mandated by the Holy See where the NAB text used so-called vertical inclusive language. Since these Lectionaries have been fully promulgated, the permission to use the Jerusalem Bible and the RSV-CE at Mass has been withdrawn.

3 Differences between Catholic and Protestant Bibles

Bible translations used by the Catholic Church, including the RSV-CE, contain more material than those used by Protestants. The Catholic Church recognizes 46 Old Testament books as canonical, while Protestants only recognize 39—seven fewer. The New Testaments are identical between Catholics and Protestants. Catholics refer to these seven Old Testament books as "deuterocanonical" meaning "second cannon," and they include: Tobias, Judith, Barus, Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom, First and Second Maccabees and parts of Esther and Daniel. Protestant Bibles through the beginning of the nineteenth century also typically included these books under a separate section called the " apocrypha" meaning "hidden." By including the deuterocanonical books in many editions, the RSV is following the older tradition of English Bibles, which includes the King James Version.
