I am really astonished to see that copyright is the reason that no RSV was on the net. How strange that there is a copyright on the English bible translations. It would be reasonable that there were rules with publishing scripture, so that the meaning of the text will not be changed, but after all, God's word is not to make money of it, but to be spread as much as possible, isn't it? -- Peter Mutsaers email: muts@fysaj.fys.ruu.nl Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht nmutsaer@ruunsa.fys.ruu.nl Princetonplein 5 tel: (+31)-(0)30-534504 3584 CG Utrecht, Netherlands
