The ESV is almost 92% totally RSV in its word content [92% word for word RSV!])		The 1952 Revised Standard Version (RSV) was a revision of the 1901 American Standard Version (ASV).

			:“Revelation has sometimes been understood to consist in a holy book. ...Even on Christian soil it has sometimes been held that the books of the Bible were practically dictated to the writers through the Holy Spirit. …I do not think that this is the distinctively Christian position.
			(Clarence T. Craig, 1943, The Beginning of Christianity)

			:“The mere fact that a tomb was found empty was capable of many explanations. The very last one that would be credible to a modern man would be the explanation of a physical resurrection of the body.” (Craig, Ibid.)

			:“The writers of the New Testament made mistakes in interpreting some of the Old Testament prophecies.” (James Moffatt, 1921, The Approach to the New Testament)

			:“One cannot of course place John on the same level with the synoptic Gospels [Matthew, Mark, Luke] as a historical source.” (William Albright, 1957, From the Stone Age to Christianity)

			:“He [Jesus Christ] was given to overstatements, in his case, not a personal idiosyncrasy, but a characteristic of the oriental world.” (Henry F. Cadbury, 1962, Jesus, What Manner of Man?)

			:“According to enthusiastic traditions which had come down through the folklore of the people of Israel, Methuselah lived 969 years.” (Walter Russell Bowie, Great Men of the Bible)

			:“The story of Abraham comes down from ancient times; and how much of it is fact and how much of it is legend, no one can positively tell.” (Bowie, Ibid.)

			:“We do not press that Gospel [John] for too great verbal accuracy in its record of the sayings of Jesus.” (Willard L. Sperry, 1943, Rebuilding Our World)

			:“This phrase [‘Thus saith the Lord’] is an almost unfailing mark of spuriousness.” (William A. Irwin, 1943, The Problem of Ezekiel)

			:“The narrative of calling down fire from heaven upon the soldiers sent to arrest him is plainly legendary” (Fleming James, 1934, The Beginnings of Our Religion)

			:“What really happened at the Red Sea we can no longer know.” (James, Ibid.)

			:“We cannot take the Bible as a whole and in every part as stating with divine authority what we must believe and do.” (Millar Burrows, 1946, Outline of Biblical Theology)

	In 1982, [[Reader's Digest]] published a special edition of the RSV that was billed as a condensed edition of the text. The Reader's Digest edition of the RSV was intended for those who did not read the Bible or who read it infrequently. It was not intended as a replacement of the full RSV text. In this version, 55% of the Old Testament and 25% of the New Testament were cut. Familiar passages such as the [[Lord's Prayer]], [[Psalm 23]] and the [[Ten Commandments]] were retained. For those who wanted the full RSV, Reader's Digest provided a list of publishers that sold the complete RSV at that time.

	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.
