Indeed He is Risen.
The RSV-CE is actually the one that I wanted but I mistakenly wrote NRSV on my Christmas list. (By the way, yes I am 30 years old and I still give my mom my Christmas list
) Anyhow, she bought it for me this past Christmas, and it took me awhile to realize my mistake. The NRSV has
inclusive language, which...well, you don't even want to get me started on that nonsense...
But since it was a gift from my mom...I do read it. Despite the IL, it's my favorite translation. I hope to get the RSV or RSV-CE someday soon.
I keep the NAB because I like the extensive footnotes and cross-references and because it's what they use at mass. But the translation itself is clunky and doesn't flow as well, IMO.
On the other end of the spectrum, I really appreciate the poetic beauty of the KJV. I use the NKJV more, though, because I have it on hand.
