== Making of the RSV ==
In 1928, the copyright to the ASV was acquired by the [[International Council of Religious Education]] (ICRE), which renewed the copyright the next year. From 1930-32, a study of the ASV text was undertaken to decide the question of a new revision, but due to the Great Depression, it was not until 1937 that the ICRE voted in favor of revising the ASV text. A panel of 32 scholars was put together for that task. Also, the Council hoped to set up a corresponding translation committee in Great Britain, as had been the case with the RV and ASV, but this plan was canceled because of World War II.

Funding for the revision was assured in 1936 by a deal that was made with [[Thomas Nelson (publisher)|Thomas Nelson & Sons]]. The deal gave Thomas Nelson & Sons the exclusive rights to print the new version for ten years. The translators were to be paid by advance royalties.

The Committee determined that, since the work would be a revision of the "Standard Bible" (as the ASV was sometimes called because of its standard use in seminaries in those days), the name of the work would be the "Revised Standard Version".

The translation panel used the 17th edition of the [[Novum Testamentum Graece|Nestle-Aland Greek text]] for the [[New Testament]], and the traditional [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] [[Masoretic Text]] for the [[Old Testament]]. However, they amended the Hebrew in a number of places. In the [[Book of Isaiah]], they sometimes followed readings found in the newly discovered [[Dead Sea Scrolls]].

The RSV New Testament was published on February 11, 1946. In his presentation speech to the ICRE, [[Luther Weigle]], dean of the translation committee, explained that he wanted the RSV to supplement and not supplant the KJV and ASV.

In 1950, the ICRE merged with the [[Federal Council of Churches]] to form the [[National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA]]. The former ICRE became the new Council's Division of Christian Education, and the NCC became the official sponsor of the RSV.

Apocrypha

2008-10-24T01:22:50Z

124.184.2.54: Straight from wiki may need clean up.

The '''biblical apocrypha''' (from the Greek word ''ἀπόκρυφος'' meaning ''hidden'') are [[Books of the Bible|books]] published in an edition of the [[Bible]] whose [[Biblical canon|canonicity]] the publisher either rejects or doubts.<ref>e.g., cf. ''Proemial Annotations'' of Volume I of the [[Douay-Rheims Bible|Old Testament of Douay]]</ref> For this reason they are typically printed in a third section of the Bible apart from the [[Old Testament|Old]] and [[New Testament|New]] Testaments. In some editions they are omitted entirely.

A comparative list can be found in the article on [[books of the Bible]]. The biblical apocrypha are sometimes referred to as '''the''' Apocrypha. For extra-biblical works sometimes referred to, usually by [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholics]], as ''apocrypha'', see the articles on [[apocrypha]] and on [[Pseudepigrapha]].

Although the term ''apocrypha'' simply means ''hidden'', this usage is sometimes considered pejorative by those who consider such works to be canonical parts of scripture.

The NIV does not include the Apocrypha.

==Old Testament==
The Preface to the NIV states that "the latest editions of the ''[[Biblia Hebratica]]''" were used. Other ancient texts consulted were the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]], the [[Samaritan Pentateuch]], the [[Aquila]], [[Symmachus]] and [[Theodotion]], the [[Latin Vulgate]], the [[Syriac Peshitta]], the [[Aramaic Targums]], and for the [[Psalms]] the [[Juxta Hebraica]] of [[Jerome]].

==New Testament==
