Translation philosophy The NRSV was developed by a renowned group of biblical scholars. Working with the best original texts, they aimed for a literal translation following the maxim "As literal as possible, as free as necessary" (from "To the Reader" on page xxiii in this translation of The Catholic Youth Bible™). The translation is also "sensitive to the danger of linguistic sexism." The NRSV version is perfect for teens who want a literal translation of the Bible in a contemporary setting.
