Version Pondering Revisited

I just recorded the Podcast for the week of Saturday 29 October through Friday 4 November using the Revised Standard Version. The kind folks at the National Council of Churches (who hold the copyright to both the RSV and the NRSV) had responded quite some time ago that they would consider reading of their material in the Podcast as fair use. Although I've warmed quite a bit to the Douay-Rheims Version we've been using, I still get a lot of email from folks who are really having difficulty with the Jacobean English. From the beginning, I hoped that Verbum Domini would make the Daily Readings more easily accessible to people, in all senses of that phrase.

So, we'll try the RSV for a week and see how it goes. It is, in the view of most scholars, a very faithful and accurate translation.

Please email with your comments after listening to the coming week (Douay-Rheims) and the week after (RSV). I'll take your opinion into account while continuing to give the matter prayerful consideration.
