Yes and No. Yes, it is extremely similar to the RSV (but with updated lingo) -- that, I think, is
its strength. It does not go so far in the literal direction as to be unredeemably awkward at times
(a la NASB), but it does preserve ambiguities that other contemporary versions don't.
It gets my vote for the English translation to use.
Best regards,
