Bible Gateway Adds RSV and NRSV
Bible Gateway has added the RSV and NRSV. This will be useful for me as these are my two favorite formal equivalent translations. This addition comes by agreement with the National Council of Churches.

My conclusion at the time of reading was that while Wallace and Burer had shown some additional possibilities for this translation, I did not think that they had…
