The New Revised Standard Version is the standard translation used by mainline Protestant churches, Orthodox churches, and by many Catholics. The NRSV debuted in 1989 and is owned by the National Council of Churches, which is the leading force for ecumenical cooperation among Christians in the United States representing thirty-five denominations with forty-five million members in more than 100,000 churches across the country. They have chosen HarperCollins to be the exclusive licensor of the translation for the world (nonexclusively in the UK).
The New Revised Standard Version is recognized in scholarly circles as the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. In the tradition of its predecessors, the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version, the NRSV was designed to be the standard version for English-speaking people across all denominations, which in many ways it has become. None of the new, more sectarian translations have approached its standards of elegance and accuracy.

About this Global Cover Collection Edition:The eucalyptus tree is an iconic symbol of Australia and plays a significant role in its ecosystem. These majestic trees provide a habitat for wildlife, act as windbreaks, and are a key source of timber and pulp for the country's forestry industry. Interestingly, eucalyptus trees have also been associated with Christianity. Parallels have been drawn between the shedding of the tree’s bark and the process of spiritual renewal, a powerful symbol of the cycle of growth, death, and rebirth found in nature and in the Christian faith.
