The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible first appeared in 1989 and has received the widest acclaim and broadest support from academics and church leaders of any modern English translation. The NRSV stands out among the many translations because it is "as literal as possible" in adhering to the ancient texts and only "as free as necessary" to make the meaning clear in graceful, understandable English. Bible With You (NRSV) is an extremely handy tool for reading this Bible translation on your Palm PDA. The attractive rich text presentation including footnotes, as well as the easy navigation, make the Bible With You (NRSV) software the perfect assistant in your personal journey through the Bible.
