New Revised Standard Version Bible has Dead Sea Scroll input ?!?!

New Revised Standard Version Bible has Dead Sea Scroll input ?!?!
(wiki page if you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Revise...rd_Version)

Did not know any Dead Sea Scroll material could have been utilized in a bible version so quickly, and LOL, NSRV was released in '89.  No secret I'm a big fan of the KJV 1611, but  I could see the NSRV becoming increasingly useful.

Weird, no? There seems to be quite a bit of support for this version except for some Orthodox christer schisms. Can't please everyone, obviously, and in the christer orbit it seems usual to not be able to please more than one sect at a time.


Of course back in '89 I was otherwise engaged and apparently missed the release announcement, so a sorry I missed this by 28 years.

I might go buy one for my collection.  Might look for one on Ebay, maybe I'll get lucky and find one all marked up by a neo-Southern Baptist ??


(one of my Ehrman books has some penciled remarks in the last 1/3, somehow Ehrman comes across as 'too' Jewish. I found the comments hysterical in view of my recently increased appreciation for Jesus's intense Jewishness over his presumed intense Christiness I was previously aware of)
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
