Russian Bible (RUSERV)

Overview

This is the Russian Easy-to-Read Version (ERV), a full Bible published by Bible League International (formerly the World Bible Translation Center) [1]. The Russian ERV is known in Russian as "Святая Библия: Современный перевод" (Holy Bible: Contemporary Translation), abbreviated РСП [2]. The Easy-to-Read Version translation program produces accessible Bible translations in simplified language using a dynamic-equivalence approach, designed for seekers and new believers as well as those using a language as a second language [1]. The Russian ERV was first produced in 1993 and has been published in multiple editions, with versions appearing in 1997, 2002, and a revised 2014 edition [3]. The full Bible is available in print and through digital platforms including Bible League International's ERV Reader app and YouVersion [1].
