WHERE IS THE CLASSICAL SPANISH REINA VALERA 1960 VERSION?

I'm surprised that Reina Valera 1960 has not been considered as the basic Spanish Version for Logos. This is as classical as King James. Could you imagine a Bible software without the King James Version?

I know that is available through Clie bundle, but it cost $60 to get that Bible and I get unnecessary books that are not of my interest.

  • Hi Richard:

             I have never seen the Reina Valera using the "Revisada" name, so I guess that it is not the same. I have used the version since I accepted Jesus in 1979 and never seen it presented in that way. It is a confusing name and I guess that it is not the same, as I see Reina Valera 1960 without the "revisada" which means revised. A paralell will be to see King James Revised and King James. You will immediately think that the "revised" version diferes from the other.

           I'm not sure about this new way of presenting it.

    The original Reina Valera ("Biblia del Oso") was published in 1569. I have this Bible in Logos along with three revisions: 1909, 1960, and 1995. I'm not familiar with the 1865 revision which you mentioned in an other post.

    Edit: According to the product description the Reina Valera Revisada (1960) is a revision of the Reina-Valera 1909. I don't have the impression that the Logos edition differs from other edtions of RV 1960.

    I have two Reina Valera Spanish Bibles on my shelf. One says Reina Valera, and on the inside it gives the date 1960. The other says Reina Valera Revisada and gives the date 1960. They are the same version as far as I can tell.

    It might be helpful to ask this question in the Spanish section of the forums to see if this assumption is correct. I assume that since you want to read the Bible in Spanish that you have the linguistic capacity to do that. If not, let me know and I'll ask.

    I can confirm that it’s exactly the same version, I have it in my Logos for 20 years and  several copies on paper and I couldn’t find any  difference.

    Buenos días, Definitivamente RV1960 y RVR1960 NO son la misma versión, cambian muchas maneras de expresarse. Como se dijo al principio del foro, RV1960 es un clásico, y se necesita tener la posiblidad de tenerla.

    Muchas gracias y espero que lo podamos adquirir pronto ☺️

    Use a better version like LBLA La Biblia de las Américas. It still retains “vosotros” but it’s more up-to-date and more accurate.
