The
Revised Version, Standard American Edition of the
Bible, more commonly known as the
American Standard Version (
ASV), is a version of the Bible that was first released in 1900. It was originally best known by its full name, but soon came to have other names, such as the
American Revised Version, the
American Standard Revision, the
American Standard Revised Bible, and the
American Standard Edition. By the time its copyright was renewed in 1929, it had come to be known by its present name, the American Standard Version. Because of its prominence in seminaries, it was in America sometimes simply called the "Standard Bible".
