The Holy Bible: New Testament & Psalms - Paperback

by American Standard Version (Translator), American Standard Version (Author)

The American Standard Version of the Holy Bible is rooted in the work begun in 1870 to revise the King James Bible of 1611. This revision project had a wide-ranging impact on the translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English language, having eventually produced the Revised Standard Version of 1971, the Amplified Bible of 1965, the New American Standard Bible of 1995 and the Recovery Version of 1999. A fifth revision, known as the World English Bible, was published in 2000. The American Standard Version was also the basis for Kenneth N. Taylor's Bible paraphrase, The Living Bible of 1971.
