The Revised Standard Version of the Bible, authorized by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States, says in its preface: “The use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom he had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church. ”
Alkitab Revised Standard Version, yang diresmikan Dewan Nasional Gereja - Gereja Kristus di Amerika Serikat, menyebutkan dalam kata pengantarnya, ” Penggunaan nama diri apa pun untuk satu - satunya Allah yang esa, seolah - olah ada allah - allah lain sehingga Ia harus dibedakan, tidak diteruskan dalam Yudaisme sebelum zaman Kristen dan sama sekali tidak patut bagi iman universal Gereja Kristen. ”
