  "description_academic_full": "The Revised Standard Version (RSV) is an English Bible translation produced as a revision of the American Standard Version. It had broad influence in twentieth-century Bible reading, study, and translation history. Because it names a translation rather than a biblical doctrine, theme, or interpretive category, it does not fit a standard theological-term entry without a separate, explicit Bible-translation category and sourcing plan.",
