The mission of the RSV committee was to offer a translation of the King James Bible that would match the accuracy of the 1885 RV / 1901 ASV yet without sacrificing the linguistic immediacy which they neglected in their word-for-word approach. The extent to which they succeeded in this is reflected in the widespread adoption of the RSV in liturgical settings as manifested in this Parish edition. "The aim has been to present a version easy to read aloud in public worship and not hard for hearers to understand . Care has been given to rhythm euphony and cadences" -Luther Weigle head of the translation committee.
