Revised Version
The Revised Version or English Revised Version of the Bible is a late 19th-century British revision of the Authorised Version, also known as King James Version, of 1611. It was the first and remains the only officially authorised and recognised revision of the King James Bible. The work was entrusted to over 50 scholars from various denominations in Britain. American scholars were invited to co-operate, by correspondence.〔Revised Version - CAMBRIDGE - At the University Press - London: Cambridge University Press, 200 Euston Road, N.W., Synopsis〕 The New Testament was published in 1881, the Old Testament in 1885, and the Apocrypha in 1894.〔 The best known of the translation committee members were Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort; their fiercest critic of that period was John William Burgon.

The New Testament revision company was commissioned in 1870 by the convocation of Canterbury.〔Mark D. Chapman'Which used the ALEXANDRIAN Greek from the Vatican rather than the Alexandrian Greek of the King James Bible. ''New Testament revision company (act. 1870–1881)'', ODNB〕 Their stated aim was "to adapt King James' version to the present state of the English language without changing the idiom and vocabulary," and "to adapt it to the present standard of Biblical scholarship." To those ends, the Greek text that was used to translate the New Testament was believed by most to be of higher reliability than the ''Textus Receptus'' used for the KJV. The readings used were compiled from a different text of the Greek Testament by Edwin Palmer.〔Palmer, Edwin, ''ΚΑΙΝΗ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ. The Greek Testament] with the Readings Adopted by the Revisers of the Authorised Version''. London: Simon Wallenberg Press, 2007. ISBN 1-84356-023-2〕
While the text of the translation itself is widely regarded as excessively literal and flat, the Revised Version is significant in the history of English Bible translation for many reasons. At the time of the RV's publication, the nearly 300-year-old King James Version was still the only viable English Bible in Victorian England. The RV, therefore, is regarded as the forerunner of the entire modern translation tradition. And it was considered more accurate than the King James Version in a number of verses.
