REVISED STANDARD VERSION, CATHOLIC EDITION
CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
FOREWORD
Despite the decline of religious practice, the appetite of English people for new versions of Scripture is paradoxically, greater than ever. Educated people are still expected to have some acquaintance with the Bible even though religious convictions are no longer demanded. One does not need to be either a Christian or a scholar to recognize the Bible as great literature. With the growth of literacy greater numbers are able to enjoy the Bible’s unique appeal. No other religious writing however exalted can compete with the inspired text.
We welcome a Catholic edition of the Revised Standard Version, not only because it will lead more of our people to read the Bible, but also because of its ecumenical value. May all who read it grow in the knowledge and love of God’s own word.
John Cardinal Heenan Archbishop of Westminster December 1965
