A distinctly liberal one,” said Rev. Rob Schenck, an evangelical clergyman, the president of The Dietrich Bonhoeffer Institute, and the author of Costly Grace: An Evangelical Minister’s Rediscovery of Faith, Hope, and Love. “And for many, especially in the very conservative or fundamentalist wing, they might see it as not a version of the Bible at all.” The translation in the RSV that is the most controversial for evangelicals can be found in Isaiah 7:14, where the word “virgin” is translated as “young woman.” According to Schenck, this translation can be read as a downplaying of the miracle of Jesus’ conception, which is a cardinal tenet of the faith. The RSV is also under the copyright of the more liberal National Council of Churches (NCC), an organization which Schenck describes as “the nemesis of evangelicals.” Denominations like the Southern Baptists and Pentecostal denominations, who make up some of Trump’s most loyal supporters, are not members. Schenck pointed out in a blog post that Trump’s choice of church was also strange. )
