MILESTONE: Draft Refreshed ASV Bible is Now Available in its Entirety

What’s New

The Refreshed ASV Old Testament has been expanded to include Zechariah, the last book of the Old Testament to be Refreshed. The digital edition availability of Hosea, Joel, Amos, and Micah have also been expanded, and are now available for the first time in our Print editions.

As a result of many years of joyous labors in 17th Century Elizabethan English, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, we are pleased to share the whole Refreshed ASV Bible is now available in its first draft.

Please refer to the Refreshed ASV Bible page for the current list of Print and Digital editions available in various text sizes.

Alongside the new availability of the entire Refreshed ASV Bible, we are retiring the temporary “RASV / ASV Whole Bible Edition”. We are grateful for the service this edition has personally served us these past few years, but are equally thankful it is no longer needed.

What’s Next

Before the entire Refreshed ASV Bible can be considered “complete,” we have already begun a final round of proofreading of the draft Old Testament to ensure typographical and formatting anomalies are addressed.

We are also looking forward to making additional formats publically available following the completions of our internal evaluations. More information will be available soon.

MILESTONE: Daniel, and All Major Prophets, are Now Available

What’s New

We are pleased to announce another Old Testament milestone has been reached. The Refreshed ASV has been expanded to include Daniel, and with it, all the Major Prophets are now available. Please refer to the RASV Old and New Testament digital editions and the RASV/ASV Interim Whole Bible print and digital editions.

What’s Next

Hosea and Amos have been Refreshed and are in our internal Proofreading queue.

Micah is actively being Refreshed.

Joel and Zechariah are the remaining books in the Refresh queue for the Minor Prophets, which will complete the Old Testament, and the Refreshed ASV as a whole.

Evaluating 6x9 3-Ring Binder Edition

In response to an inquiry, we are beginning an evaluation of a new 6x9 3-Ring Binder Edition of the Refreshed ASV New Testament & Psalms. This edition is intended to meet the various needs of Pastors and Professors. The double-column text format would be identical between the PDF, Hardcover, and 3-Ring Binder editions for encompassing workflow commonality.

If the 3-Ring Binder Edition would be of interest to you, please let us know.

Ezekiel is Now Available

What’s New

The Refreshed ASV Old Testament has been expanded to include the book of Ezekiel in both Digital and Print editions. Please refer to the RASV Old and New Testaments editions and the RASV/ASV Interim Whole Bible editions.

For those who have purchased a Print Edition last week which included Jeremiah, Lamentations, Obadiah, Nahum, and Habakkuk, Ezekiel is included.

What’s Next

The books of Daniel and Hosea have been Refreshed and are now in our internal Proofreading queue.

Amos is actively being Refreshed.

Joel, Micah, and Zechariah are the remaining books in the Refresh queue for the Minor Prophets, which will complete the Old Testament, and the Refreshed ASV as a whole.

New PDF Chapter Bookmarks and Additional PDF Editions

We are pleased to share that two additional PDF enhancements are now available:

  1. The PDF editions of the RASV New Testament & Psalms and the RASV Old & New Testament books completed to-date now include identical 6x9 formatting between the Digital and Print Editions. The text size, double column, and page numbering are now identical and will be of use for those who use both format types.

  2. All PDF Editions now include Chapter bookmarks. Instead of navigating to the beginning of a book and then clicking the desired chapter, a new dedicated left-hand bookmark navigation panel is now available for PDF reader applications. With no more than two clicks, PDF readers can now navigate from one chapter to any another.

Two new PDF Editions are now available for the RASV/ASV Interim Whole Bible, to compliment the Print Editions, which is comprised of the RASV text completed to-date, along with the ASV 1901 text for the remaining books of the Old Testament (Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Micah, Zechariah).

  1. RASV/ASV Interim Whole Bible PDF Edition

  2. RASV/ASV Interim Whole Bible, Large Print PDF Edition
