LOL and which of the two things that I listed rejects VII?

Dangit. And I paid $16 for it. I should have known something fishy was up when it had the Methodist endorsement. That makes me mad. What is wrong with these Catholic priests giving approval to such trash.

I don't know... didn't happen 60 years ago... maybe it has tro do with the "understanding" of outside the Church no salvation?

For theological and anthropological reasons I avoid scripture translations that are "gender neutral." I prefer the RSV Catholic edition of the Bible.

i agree; the inspired Word of God wasn't gender neutral, so clearly God didn't mean for it to be that way. and if people aren't intelligent enough to infer that when St. Paul (or whoever) says mankind, hes referring to EVERYONE, in this Church where we are neither "male nor female, slave nor free, Jew nor Greek," than that is THEIR problem, not the translation. :angry:
i mean, this is the same Church of the same Jesus Christ who had women for friends, whose first witness to the Resurrection was a woman. CLEARLY, we are inclusive!

You need to be careful when you are buying this translation too as there is also a [b]NEW[/b] RSV which has inclusive language!
Just as there is a [b]new[/b] English Bible and presumably a [b]new[/b] American Bible.......

Good luck with trying to find a copy of the old version Bro Adam - there isn't a book store in London that does it as far as I've been able to discover, and that includes the Catholic bookshops. I've been trying to find a replacement copy for the one that I bought in 1979 - it's most frustrating!

[b][u]The Jerusalem Bible, Reader's Edition[/u][/b], which has a nihil obstat and imprimatur, was reprinted by Doubleday in 2000. You can order it from any bookstore; the [b]ISBN[/b] number is [b]0-385-49918-3[/b]. It's not gender-neutral. I hope you enjoy it, it's a beautiful bible. :)

Yes, be sure to get the Ignatius Bible (RSV Catholic edition), it is the older RSV (not the NRSV) and does not use inclusive language. It is published by Ignatius Press.

[quote name='MorphRC' date='Sep 14 2004, 01:08 AM'] What is rendered for Luke 1:28 in the RSVCE? [/quote]
The translation of Luke 1:28 in the RSV is, "And he came to her and said, 'Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!'"; while in the RSVCE it is translated as, "And he came to her and said, 'Hail, [i]full of grace[/i], the Lord is with you!'"
