what is the most common bible translation in english?
contemporary english version
most editions of the rsv that contain the apocrypha place those books after the new testament, arranged in the order of the king james version (the eastern orthodox deuterocanon in post-1977 editions is added at the end). the exceptions are the first and second catholic editions and the common bible in which the apocryphal books were placed in the order of the roman catholic biblical canon and between the testaments and rearranged in an order pleasing to catholics, orthodox, and protestants alike, respectively (see below for more information about the catholic editions and the common bible).
revised standard version
in 1977, the rsv apocrypha was expanded to include 3 maccabees, 4 maccabees, and psalm 151, three additional sections accepted in the eastern orthodox canon (4 maccabees again forming an appendix in that tradition), although it still does not include additional books in the syriac and ethiopian canons. this action increased the "common bible" to 84 books, making it the most comprehensive english bible translation to date with its inclusion of books not accepted by all denominations. the goal of the "common bible" was to help ecumenical relations among the churches.
