This edition, entitled “The English Standard Version Bible with Apocrypha,” was only published once as far as I can tell, but it served as the basis for the ESV Catholic Edition rendering of the deuterocanonical books, except Tobit, as I mentioned above.Īugustine Institute? The Augustine Institute, where I teach as a professor of Sacred Scripture, though originally only a graduate school, has become something of a media and publication apostolate with our video platform and our merger with Lighthouse Catholic Media. Speaking of Tobit, what about the deuterocanon? The original 2001 ESV did not include the deuterocanonical books (the ones in Catholic, but not Protestant Bibles), but in 2010, ESV did a joint publication with Oxford University Press which did include the deuterocanon. Notice the founders of Crossway in the middle: Lane and Ebeth Dennis. How did a Protestant Translation become Catholic? It actually restores some King James readings that are more accurate than the RSV: “For example, Isaiah 7:14 was changed back to say, ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son.’ Psalm 2:12 once again says, ‘Kiss the Son,’ and Psalm 45:6 is once again a Messianic prediction that says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever'” (Source: Wayne Grudem, “ The Advantages of the English Standard Version (ESV) Translation” p. The King James was based on the old Textus receptus of Erasmus, while the ESV is based on the newest critical editions available.
It offloads the archaic terms like the “thees, thous and wherefores.” It relies on better analyses of the manuscript tradition. It sounds strangely familiar and yet new. So it is a “daughter translation,” if you will, not a completely new from-scratch translation, but this makes the ESV feel like an old friend and a new teacher at the same time. The ESV has modified about 60,000 words from the RSV. The RSV-2CE is the translation in the Catholic Bible Study App offered by a partnership of Ignatius and the Augustine Institute. Many Catholic have used the RSV Bible in two versions–the original RSV-Catholic Edition and the so-called RSV-2CE from Ignatius Press, which was developed in partnership with the Congregation for Divine Worship under the guidelines of Liturgiam authenticam. What about the RSV? The Revised Standard Vervsion (the Standard Version is the King James) originally came out in 1950’s and was revised in the 1970’s and then replaced by the NRSV. Instead of revising one of those translations, Crossway chose to go back to the RSV and then work from there.
Many Bible readers were unhappy with the translation choices of the NRSV and NIVI. The translation was partially born from a late-1990’s controversy over the inclusive language edition of the New International Version Bible–the NIVI. The Protestant Backstory The ESV translation first came out in 2001 from Crossway publishers as a Protestant Bible for the Protestant market. This year, I have the great pleasure of announcing that this new translation is now available for purchase in the United States, thanks to the Augustine Institute! Yes, it is finally here. Last year, I wrote a post about the new English Standard Version Catholic Edition Bible (ESV-CE) published in India.
