I don't know what version the RcV compares best to. My guess would be maybe the ESV or NIV, but I have not engaged in a side by side comparison.

The translation itself probably isn't a bad translation per se, you just can't be guaranteed that there was no agenda behind the translation (and most of us believe that there was indeed an agenda).
I see. Thanks. Is there any place mention the term "God's economy" etc?
