The Revised English Bible

The Revised English Bible is a revision of the well-known New English Bible, which takes advantage of nearly 20 years of further Biblical scholarship. It is a dynamic-equivalence translation, though a generally conservative one. It makes use of some textual conjectures in the Hebrew scriptures, but provides adequate footnotes in all cases.

The REB is my favorite translation for personal reading. American readers may find some of the British English a little bit annoying, but the REB is much better than the older NEB on this point.
