The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, usually identified as the National Council of Churches (NCC), is the largest ecumenical body in the United States, comprising member from 38 Christian faith groups.The NCC sponsored the multi-denominational research effort that produced the Revised Standard Version (1952) and the New Revised Standard Version (1989), and holds the copyrights to both translations.In 2017 the NCC commissioned the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL), the world's leading international association of biblical scholars, to review and update the NRSV. The SBL review panel included seven general editors and fifty-six book editors.

'The NRSV has long been my first choice among modern versions of the Bible, and as a linguist by training I was eager to see how this updated edition compares with previous versions. I was not disappointed! Thiry years of advances in textual analysis make it more accurate than any other translation, and now its sensitive rendering into elegant and inclusive British English ensures a smoother and more rewarding reading experience for millions of English speakers, both in the UK and around the world. All of which means the NRSVue now stands at the pinnacle of English Bible translations.'
