Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition

The Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) is an English translation of the Bible that includes the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament.

It was first published in 1966 and revised in 2006 to conform to the Vatican document *Liturgiam authenticam*.

This edition is known for its formal equivalence, providing a word-for-word translation that safeguards literal fidelity.

It is widely used by Catholic scholars and theologians and is approved for liturgical use in certain Catholic parishes.

The RSV-2CE is notable for its conservative approach to translation, retaining the beauty and readability of the original RSV while making minor revisions to archaic language.
