Rebecca2009 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 How does the Douay-Rheims (sp?} compare to the Revised Standard Version? I have the Ignatius Study Bible New Testament which is RSV, and I am hoping it's pretty similar to the DR version. And, which translation is thought to be most accurate? Thank you for any help.

Rock Kertesky O'Cist (the premier Christological scholar) would translate from the Greek into English off hand in class, it was almost word for word from the RSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
