It is based on the most current scholarship and utilizes the best available ancient manuscripts to provide a faithful representation of the original texts.

NRSV - New Revised Standard Version of the Bible
No modern Bible is really an accurate translation of the original scriptures. There have been too many alterations, additions and interpolations to the original books. Even when changes have been identified, it is usual practice to keep the received version, rather than revert to an earlier version, although a few translations do provide footnotes that identify some of the more well-known interpolations. Within this limitation, the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) is considered a good study Bible. The NRSV has less Bible English and manifests a greater sensitivity for inclusive language than the RSV translation which it replaces, but the price is a further loss of literalness.
There are several places one can find a NRSV Bible. You can try the website of All Bibles, they have several styles of Bibles available. You can also try on Amazon or eBay.

The key differences between the NRSV and NKJV translations of the Bible lie in their approach to language and translation style. The NRSV aims for accuracy and inclusivity in its language, using gender-neutral terms where possible. On the other hand, the NKJV focuses on maintaining the traditional language and style of the King James Version while updating some words for modern understanding.

Yes, it can be accepted by Protestants or Catholics. Though it is considered gender-inclusive and accused of being "modernist" I don't find the NRSV problematic itself (I'm also talking as a conservative evangelical). Some fundamentalist Protestants will say that the NRSV is a tool of the devil. I object to that sentiment. Though there are some problematic interpretations in the NRSV it is not a bible version that will lead people astray in the faith (unlike the heretical New World Translation). Thus, I would say that the NRSV is acceptable to use for preaching, devotion, and study. However, I would also suggest you check out other better translations like the ESV, NIV, NASB, and HCSB.
Yes, the Douay-Rheims version. The NRSV Catholic Edition is also very frequently used in the United States.
