The REB used to be available but it's not any more. I am not sure we will be able to get it back online since the required licensing figures are probably bigger than any profits from modules salesFielder wrote:I would greatly like to have the Revised English Bible REB.
And it's (even better) predecessor the New English Bible NEB.
REB is sponsored by 15 denominations including the Church of England and the Church of Scotland. The NEB had 11. The lists are here:

One noted online reviewer posted that the REB would be one of his two desert island versions and "the Revised English Bible has the best overall literary quality of any modern English translation--the best since the King James Version" :

The NEB came before its revision (REB), before the era of gender inclusiveness. The NEB is also less PC for other reasons. I consider the NEB to be one of the three all time great translations, my favorites:
Today's English Version (TEV a.k.a. GNB) has the most 'soul'.
King James Version KJV and the New English Bible NEB have the most literary merit.
