Yesterday I received a very nice gift from my church where I regularly teach classes in Biblical Studies. At the end of an afternoon meeting, the Minister of Christian Formation handed me a copy of the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft double diglot edition of Novum Testamentum Graece. The two parallel English texts, on facing pages from the Greek, are the NRSV and the REB. Amazingly, the entire volume is just under seven and a half inches tall, just over five and a half inches wide, and only an inch and a half thick—a comfortable size and weight.

Ancient Greek, mostly Hellenistic
Thanks for the information. I really like the REB.
It’s apparently become the standard scholarly translation in much of the English speaking world outside North America. While the New Revised Standard Version holds that spot in the US and Canada, in the UK the Revised English Bible appears to be more popular.
