New page

The '''Revised English Bible (REB)''' is a 1989 update of the [[New English Bible]] of 1970. As with its predecessor, it is published by the publishing houses of both [[Oxford University]] and [[Cambridge University]].

== Translation philosophy ==

The REB is the result of both advances in scholarship and translation made since the 1960s and also a desire to correct what have been seen as some of the NEB's more egregious errors. For examples of changes, see the references. The changes remove many of the most idiosyncratic renderings of the [[New English Bible]], moving the REB more in the direction of standard translations such as [[NRSV]] or [[NIV]].

The translation is intended to be gender-inclusive, to the extent that this is justified by the original language, though it does not take this to the same extent as the [[NRSV]] or [[TNIV]]. The gender-inclusive approach has also been widely praised by others as a needful corrective to centuries of church-inspired paternalism. Nevertheless, it can be criticized by those who think this approach to be a bow to [[political correctness]] and [[feminist theology]].

The style has been described by several people as more "literary" than [[NRSV]] or [[NIV]]. It tends slightly further in the direction of "dynamic equivalence" than those translations, but still translates Hebrew poetry as poetry and reflects at least some of the characteristics of that poetry. The Revised English Bible's general accuracy and literary flavour has led [[Stephen Mitchell]] and others<ref>http://homepage.mac.com/rmansfield/thislamp/files/071806_revised_english_bible.html</ref> to compliment it as one of the best English renderings.

Like the NEB, it is primarily presented to the British and British-educated public, although it has some [[United States|American]] users and admirers.

== Sponsors ==

*[[Baptist Union of Great Britain]]
*[[Church of England]]
*[[Church of Scotland]]
*[[Council of Churches for Wales]]
*[[Irish Council of Churches]]
*The [[London Yearly Meeting]] of the [[Religious Society of Friends]]
