Cambridge and Oxford still print the RSV. Granted there is not a wide selection, but you can see what is available by searching for "RSV" on Amazon.com. Dan: No need to despair.

I think though after looking around I have been here before. I am sorry to hear about your Bible delima. I would hate that to happen to me. I personally grew up on the KJV - kind of what you were talking about with the Lutheran thing, Idependant Baptist think God spoke in Old English. 'If it's good enough for the Apostle Paul...' I later switched to the NKJ which I liked very much. After going to Bible college and learning the languages I changed again - but not really to a version but to many. Ofcourse I try to stick with the originals when I can but I am still a novice at that. So as far as English versions go I preach from the HCSB, I study from the NET, NASB and the ESV. If I was made to only choose one I would have a hard time. I really love the flow of the HCSB, the accuracy of the NET and ESV and just like the NASB. So those are my suggestions. For you son I would just have him work on the one that you guys plan on using. He will get it. The NKJ is a lot easier than the KJ and I had no problem as a young kid.
