Re: [Tyndale STEP - Translations] Re: [Tyndale STEP - Translations] RSV and NEB

Pardon; I have to check RSV when NRSV has revised the wording that UBS quotes. NEB isn't on BibleWorks anyway. GG

I agree that they are both historically important, but RSV is
replaced now by NRSV,
and NEB was a kind of failed translation, the good ideas of which
made its way into later translations,
and the bad bits are best forgotten. In particular they often decided
to change the order of verses,
and that would make havoc for us!
NEB was esp important for employing the 'experimental' OT emendations,
many of which are very important, but we will include all the good
ones by using UBS.
