The SBL review panel included seven general editors and fifty-six book editors.Philip Law (In-House Editor) Philip Law is Publishing Director for SPCK and Lion Books.

The NRSV has long been my first choice among modern versions of the Bible, and as a linguist by training I was eager to see how this updated edition compares with previous versions. I was not disappointed! Thiry years of advances in textual analysis make it more accurate than any other translation, and now its sensitive rendering into elegant and inclusive British English ensures a smoother and more rewarding reading experience for millions of English speakers, both in the UK and around the world. All of which means the NRSVue now stands at the pinnacle of English Bible translations.
