The NRSV, or New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, could probably be fairly called the leading ecumenical or scholarly translation of the Christian Bible. It enjoys a position in academia second to no other translation, unless perhaps the NRSV-UE is being counted as another translation.

The NRSV, proper, came out in 1989, and in 2021 an updated edition, under the name NRSV-UE (for Updated Edition) appeared. I don't yet (as of September 2022) have a clear picture of what all has changed in it, and whether that change has been mostly for the better.

The NRSV is a revision of the RSV, which went through several stages of revision and translation from the 1940's to the 1970's.

You can read the 1989 NRSV online here, and the 2021 update here.
