I do not know where you can get the Revised Standard Version in braille. The church I went to in 1978 got it for me. It is a good Bible.

Is the complete Revised Standard Version available in audio from
anywhere? I am aware of the recent "Truth and Life" Dramatized New
Testament of the RSV as well as the audio RSV NT Catholic Edition but
I would like to have the entire Old and New Testaments in audio.
Though a little dated, the RSV is still one of the best and most
widely accepted translations.
thanks much.
Doris
