Bible Question

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.

The RSV is by far the best English translation. The Douay Rheims is also very faithful, but not as scholarly.

When Fr. 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
