Dominant priest ranting about English version of bible (10)
I believe the answer is:
prevailing
'dominant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'priest ranting about english version of bible' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'priest' could be 'rev' and 'rev' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'piling' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prevailing that I've seen before include "Generally accepted" , "ruling" , "victorious" .)
