The Revised Standard Version Bible Committee of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America authored revised translations of the New Testament (1946, 1972), the Old Testament (1952), and the Apocrypha (1957). The committee was organized in 1929, operated for a short time and then dissolved until 1937. From the Committee's inception until 1966, the chairman was Luther A. Weigle of Yale University Divinity School. Oberlin Graduate School of Theology Professor Herbert G. May joined the committee in 1945, became head of the Old Testament section in 1960, and chaired the Committee from 1966 to 1976. May's colleague at Oberlin, Professor Clarence Tucker Craig, became a member of the New Testament and Apocrypha sections in 1938. The Committee headquarters were in New Haven (1929-1972), Oberlin (1972-1976), and at Princeton University Divinity School (1976-?).
