Bible Sells as Reference
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Piesi Correspondent
Washington W When the
Revised Standard Version of the
Bible was published five years
ago, there was widespread ex
pectation that it would supplant
the King James Version as the
basic Bible of American Protes
tants. The "RSV" hag been a phen
omenal success. More than five
million copies have been sold,
and it is still on the best-seller
lists. Scholars have acclaimed it.
Tests have shown it easier to
read and understand. On its fifth
anniversary, the RSV is already
firmly established as the best of
all modern translations, an in
valuable aid to any serious stu
dent of the Scriptures.
But it has NOT taken the place
of the 346-year-old King James
Bible. And it begins to seem
doubtful that it will ever do so.
The King James Version still
outsells the RSV by a ratio of
about 8 to 1. And the RSV share
of total Bible sales has shown a
tendency to decline rather than
increase in the past two years.
Current sales figures are not,
of course, conclusive. The Na
tional Council of Churches, spon
sor of the RSV, recognized from
the start that it would take a
long time for any new transla
tion to rival the long-loved King
James in popular acceptance.
Clergy. Scholars First
It assumed that the swing to
the RSV would begin with
clergymen and other Bible schol
ars qualified to compare the two
translations, and that the Bible
buying public would eventually
r follow suit.
This assumption recently re
ceived a rude jolt in the form of
a survey conducted by the Liv
ing Church, weekly Protestant
Episcopal magazine.
The magazine polled more
than 400 Episcopal clergymen
whose names were taken at ran
dom from a denominational ros
ter. It asked them which version
or versions of the Bible they
customarily used for public wor
ship, for private reading, for
sermon texts, for serious study
of scriptural passages.
The responses showed that the
RSV was very highly regarded
as a reference, and that it sur
passed all other modern transla
tions combined in favor as a
"second Bible."
But it was also clear, the Liv
ing Church reported, that "the
RSV is not by any means taking
the place of the King James,"
even in a denomination which
has been notably sympathetic to
the new translation.
For" example, 262 clergymen
said they "always" read from
the King James Version at pub
lic worship, compared to only 32
who regularly use the RSV as a
pulpit Bible. The rest use both
versions for worship, but the
vast majority 109 "usually"
choose the King James.
Lopsided Favorite
The old translation was simi
larly a lop-sided favorite for pri
vate devotional reading, for ser
mon quotations and texts.
The one question on which

MAIL TRIBUNE
btanaard
i the RSV won a majority was:
"What version do you use for
serious study of Holy Scrip
ture?" The responses indicated
that the average clergyman often
consults'several translations, in
cluding the original Greek, in
serious Bible study; but if only
! one Bible is used, it is more like
ly to be the RSV than the King
James.
The magazine said the reasons
given by a majority of Episcopal
ministers for their choice of
Bibles were well summarized in
these two replies:
"I trust the scholarship of the
RSV, and therefore I rely quite
heavily on it for accurate trans
lation. However, as sacred scrip

Church Receives
$200 Award;' Plaque
Cave Junction Immanuel
Methodist church, Cave Junc
tion, has received a first place
award, a plaque and a cash gift
of S200, in the Oregon Town and
Country Church improvement
Project for the year 1956-57.
Presentation was made to
Mrs. Lester Archer, chairman of
the Women's Society of Christian
Service, at the Awards banquet
of the Oregon Town and Coun
try Church conference at Oregon
State college last Thursday.
Immanuel church, which was
completed this year and is still
receiving finishing touches, was
built through the efforts of mem
bers who had formerly met at
Evergreen school. From a nu
cleus of only a handful of in
terested persons three years ago,
it has grown to a membership of
140, with 119 enrolled in the
Sunday school classes. Under
the guidance of the Rev. Robert
Kingsbury, who was graduated
from the Boston University
school of Theology in 1955, and
with the help of his wife, Shir
ley, the church has become a
meeting place not only for Sun
day worship, but for youth
groups, study classes, the WSCS
and other fellowship organiza
tions. The scrap book which showed
church improvement was made
by Mrs. Lester Archer and was
compiled by Mrs. Robert Kings
bury. Mrs. Ralph Burns did the
art work. Mr. Kingsbury points
out it was through cooperation
of all members that the honor
was won.

version
ture for the us of the people, the
RSV loses much that only the
King James Version has the
dignity and beauty of great
pros e; familiarity and the
warmth which that familiarity
can give; the tremendous wealth
of .biblical reference, allusion
and quotation which pervades
the English language, all of
which comes from the King
James."
"Unless the meaning of a par
ticular scriptural passage is ac
tually obscured in the King
James Version, I use it because
its beautiful language still has
hallowed associations for this
generation of Christians, which
are not to be taken lightly."
