It was a revision of the ASV.

—The Committee determined that, since the work would be a revision of the "Standard Bible" (as the ASV was sometimes called because of its standard use in seminaries in those days), the name of the work would be the "Revised Standard Version".

The King James is by far the most beautiful and influential. Who could forget such classic King James quotes as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? Oh wait, it's actually "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Yikes

And War and Peace is in French. Why are you so angry? I mean even in translation you had to know out was in French. It literally discusses that in the novel! “He went on in the same way, in French, pronouncing in Russian only those words he wanted to underscore contemptuously.”
Wait, are you some kind of pleb that's never read it?

Well it might interest you to know that Anglicanism has been influenced by Reformed thought as well as English monarchs who were educated by Reformed ministers. All the English Dissenters probably first brought the Geneva Bible to America with them since they disagreed with the reforms of the official state English church.

People whine about the archaisms even though they make it more precise. Probably has as many perks and faults as any other popular translation.

One problem of early modern Bibles in my opinion is the use of "Holy Ghost" for Holy Spirit due to the fact that the Greek NT uses only one word for 'spirit' (πνεῦμα, pneûma) from which related words are derived i.e. "spiritual" (πνευμᾰτῐkός, pneumatikós "pneumatic") and "spiritually" (πνευματιkῶς).
