(The Revised Version (RV) or English Revised Version (ERV)...)
The Revised Version (RV) or English Revised Version (ERV) of the Bible is a late 19th-century British revision of the King James Version. It was the first and remains the only officially authorised and recognised revision of the King James Version in Britain. The work was entrusted to over 50 scholars from various denominations in Britain. American scholars were invited to co-operate, by correspondence.1 The New Testament was published in 1881, the Old Testament in 1885, and the Apocrypha in 1894.1 The best known of the translation committee members were Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort; their fiercest critic of that period was John William Burgon.

Hort was born on April 23, 1828 in Dublin, Ireland, the great-grandson of Josiah Hort, Archbishop of Tuam in the eighteenth century.
In 1846 Hort passed from Rugby School to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was the contemporary of E. W. Benson, B. F. Westcott and J. B. Lightfoot. In 1850 Hort took his degree, being third in the classical tripos.
In 1854, in conjunction with J. E. B. Mayor and Lightfoot, Hort established the Journal of Classical and Sacred Philology, and plunged eagerly into theological and patristic study. He had been brought up in the strictest principles of the Evangelical movement, but at Rugby, under the influence of Thomas Arnold and Archibald Campbell Tait, and through his acquaintance with John Frederick Denison Maurice and Charles Kingsley, he finally moved towards liberalism. In 1857 he accepted the college living of St Ippolyts, near Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, where he remained for fifteen years. During his time there he took part in discussions on university reform, continued his studies, and wrote essays for various periodicals. In 1870 he was appointed a member of the committee for revising the translation of the New Testament, and in 1871 he delivered the Hulsean Lectures before the university. Their title was The Way, the Truth, and the Life, but they were not prepared for publication until many years after their delivery. In 1872 he accepted a fellowship and lectureship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge; in 1878 he was made Hulsean Professor of Divinity, and in 1887 Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity. Hort died on 30 November 1892 in Cambridge. In 1881 he published, with his friend Westcott, an edition of the text of the New Testament based on their text critical work. The Revision Committee had largely accepted this text, even before its publication, as a basis for their translation of the New Testament. Its appearance created a sensation among scholars, and it was attacked in many quarters, but on the whole it was received as being much the nearest approximation yet made to the original text of the New Testament. The introduction was the work of Hort. Next to his Greek Testament his best-known work is The Christian Ecclesia (1897). Other publications are: Judaistic Christianity (1894); Village Sermons (two series); Cambridge and other Sermons; Prolegomena to . .. Romans and Ephesians (1895); The Ante-Nicene Fathers (1895); and two Dissertations, (1876).
