Revised Version of Bible Celebrates 5th Birthday
The Revised Standard Version marks its five year anniversary with over five million copies sold since 1952 and more than 30 million RSV New Testament sales. Dr. Luther A. Weigle notes rising influence across denominations and expanded distribution through 115 church book stores. The goal is truth, not modernization, reflecting better knowledge of Bible lands and languages. A separate item confirms West Point cadets are subject to court martial under oath and military discipline.
