A question was posed on another thread about the RSV translation. Is it the original with "thee, "thou," etc. or is it the updated one from after 1996?

Bob

Bob, sorry for the delayed reply. It's the updated RSV after 1996.

I have an Ignatius Press edition--second edition revised 2002 in accord with Liturgiam Authenticam. Is that the one you refer to? I believe there is also a second Catholic edition from after 1996 that is not as new as the 2002.

For the "Book of Thematic Readings: Old Testament Readings Relating to the Sunday Gospels", is there a listing of the scripture passages for the various Sundays. While I am planning on suggesting these to my parish and will even offer to donate them, I would not use the RSV in my own personal scripture reading. So it would be nice to have a listing that I can pray along with my own Bible on days I can't make it to vespers or if my parish does not adopt these books.

Also can I confirm that the ECPub books do NOT use the traditional language for God such as "thee", "thine", or "thou".
