Discover the Revised English Version Bible (REV)

A Historically Accurate Bible Translation You Can Trust

The Revised English Version (REV) is the result of over sixty years of work from some of today’s leading Bible scholars in ancient Greek and Hebrew.


Faithful to the original languages. Clear for modern readers. Rich with commentary.

  • Why another Bible translation?

    Because accuracy matters.


     The REV was developed to meet a critical need in the world of Bible study: a translation that reflects the true meaning of the original texts without theological distortion or archaic language.

    Created by seasoned scholars with backgrounds in biblical languages, theology, and historical context, the REV is:

    Based on decades of in-depth translation from ancient Greek and Hebrew


    Produced collaboratively by a team rather than a single editor or publisher


    Built to reflect key biblical truths often overlooked or obscured in mainstream versions


    Whether you're new to the Bible or have studied it for years, the REV offers a fresh, accurate, and insightful reading experience.
