Evaluate Containing Books The Orthodox Study Bible

5 stars for Septuagint3 stars for the study notes. Many are, sadly, insufficient for such a rich tradition to which this translation is paired.

In the past few years, I've been trying to read through a different translation of the Bible each year. The Orthodox Study Bible is interesting in that it includes the Apocrypha (some neat stuff in there!), and the OT translation is taken from the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew OT). The NT is, rather disappointingly, the NKJV. I found myself scratching my head a few times, wondering at NKJV's translation of the Greek. The study notes were full of interesting insights from the church

Followed this reading plan: https://www.st-philip.net/files/Resou... and completed the book in a year. Enjoyed reading the Septuagint version of the Old Testament. There were also helpful articles throughout the book explaining several topics. It seemed that some additional commentary would be useful, and some books had more commentary than others, probably due to editors considers certain books more challenging than others.

I use this Sacred Scripture for reflection and study along with other versions. This Bible suits my requirements perfectly as an augmentation for my needs. Anyone who chooses this Scripture will not be disappointed, but encouraged and nurtured in their Faith.

The NKJV is not my favorite English translation of the New Testament. I understand that the main reason the OSB uses it is because Nelson, the publisher, owns that translation, and so its affiliation with Orthodoxy is somewhat accidental. It is an interesting first attempt to put together an Orthodox study bible. But my dislike of it is that it gives the impression there is exactly one possible meaning of the text, whereas the reality is the Fathers used any one text for a variety of purposes,

Quite a bit better than the original edition, and made more valuable by the new Septuagint translation.

Really like this translation. LXX + NT
