The Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (also known as the RSV-CE) is an English language Bible translation, a Catholic adaptation of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) which updated the King James Version (KJV) into modern English. Noted for the formal equivalence of its translation, it is widely used and quoted by Catholic scholars and theologians and, because of its significance in the development of the English Bible tradition, the Revised Standard Version Second Catholic (RSV-2CE or Ignatius) Edition is "the sole lectionary authorized for use" in the liturgies of the Personal Ordinariates for formerly Anglican Catholics around the world.〔http://www.ordinariate.org.uk/liturgy-anglican-use 〕 The RSV-CE and its second (RSV-2CE or Ignatius) edition were published in the following stages: *New Testament (1946, originally copyrighted to the International Council of Religious Education) *Old Testament (1952) *Deuterocanonical Books (1957) *Catholic Edition of the New Testament (1965) *Catholic Edition of the Old Testament incorporating the deuterocanonicals (1966) *Second Catholic (or Ignatius) Edition (2006) == Background == The Revised Standard Version (RSV) stands within the tradition of the Authorized (King James) Version (KJV), which was updated in 1885 in the UK as the Revised Version, with an American edition known as the American Standard Version published in 1901. The latter version was revised in 1952 by a Standard Bible Committee authorized by the National Council of Churches; this was known as the Revised Standard Version. A revision of the Apocrypha was authorized in December of that year, and would be completed in 1957. The 1943 encyclical of Pope Pius XII, ''Divino afflante Spiritu'', encouraged translations of the Catholic Bible from the original languages instead of the Vulgate alone, as had been the tradition since the Council of Trent. "It was in fact with a view to filling this rather obvious gap in the shortest possible time that some Catholic scholars considered the possibility of so editing the Revised Standard Version, on its appearance in 1952, as to make it acceptable to Catholic readers."〔''Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition'', "Introduction to the 1966 Edition"〕 In 1954, after a year of negotiations, the Standard Bible Committee granted the Catholic Biblical Association of Great Britain permission to print a Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSV-CE) Bible. Originally, the RSV-CE New Testament was to have been issued as early as 1956, but Cardinal Griffin, who had approved the plan, died before he could give it an imprimatur. A delay of nearly a decade ensued before Archbishop Gray of St. Andrews and Edinburgh gave the RSV-CE New Testament the necessary imprimatur. And so at last, in 1965, the RSV-CE New Testament was published.〔Reginald C. Fuller, gen. ed. ''A New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture''. London: Nelson, Ltd.; 1969〕 In the following year, 1966, the full RSV-CE Bible was published, with the deuterocanonical works incorporated into the Old Testament text. The Prayer of Manasseh, 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, 3 Maccabees, 4 Maccabees and Psalm 151, which are part of the Septuagint but not of the Catholic canon, were not added. Although the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition was published in 1989, the mechanical use of inclusive language did not find favor among many scholars, and the use of such language for Bible translations was specifically rejected by the Catholic hierarchy. The Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) was negotiated with the National Council of Churches, and issued by Ignatius Press in 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
