Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
THE NEW AND EXPANDED SECOND EDITION Our first edition [ISBN 0-944359-13-2] of THE HOLY GOSPELS or EVANGELISTARION of THE ORTHODOX NEW TESTAMENT was highly acclaimed and well received. We thank faithful and conscientious readers of the Scriptures who made valuable recommendations and suggestions which helped to produce an even better text for this second edition [ISBN 0-944359-17-5]. Improvements include greater usage of Orthodox terminology (i.e., Logos, energy), more and/or expanded endnotes, editing and consistency of spelling, enlargement of many icons, greater clarity of endnote and superscript appearance in the text, the addition of a convenient sewn-in ribbon marker. Thus, with the assistance and service of many in the Orthodox community wishing to serve our Lord and the His Church, we have an improved text, both in content and appearance, of The Orthodox New Testament. In addition, we have received the blessing and approval of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece, under ! the presidency of Metropolitan Kallinikos of Fthiotidos and Thavmakos.

Heavy Duty,
By Benjamin Eby (Fort Huachuca, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Orthodox New Testament (The Holy Gospels) (Hardcover)
The orthodox new testament is an excellent text for those who are already familiar with the teachings of the Orthodox Church, and/or are familiar with biblical Greek. The translation is very accurate, and intentionally as literal as possible. This makes the text hard to read, but have no fear, there are plenty of notes explaining the difficulties. A textual scholar will find this edition to be very handy for reference, with most variant readings noted, and a listing of all ancient texts containing that variant. Many appendixes in the back, mostly of a technical nature.

I'm blessed/ made happy with this text,
This review is from: The Orthodox New Testament (The Holy Gospels) (Hardcover)
I was blessed/made happy to aquire this set of the Holy Scriptures. To me this is a trustworthy translation of a traditional, Orthodox text. Compare with the other 'Orthodox' english translation, the Orthodox Study Bible, and one readily understands the superiority of this. The other is based on a western translation, the New King James Version. This one from Holy Apostles is based on an Orthodox text, translated according to Orthodox theological understanding. For instance, the verse in the Apocalypse, 2:10, in the western translation reads "...Be faithful until death...," whereas in this translation it reads "...Keep on becoming faithful until death..." A simple understanding of Orthodox theology and the teaching of 'becoming Godlike,' beginning now and 'until' the ages of ages, 'until' eternity, reveals the Orthodoxy of this translation as well as the necessity of it. Theology matters...yes it does! I found the endnotes helpful and the iconography adequate. Gosh, wouldn't color prints of the icons be even better! Of course, but not the price, so I can deal with that. The endnotes, like I said, help me, and also build desire to do further readings of the Fathers eventually, because, like the Ethiopian eunuch when asked by the Apostle Saint Philip if he understood the scriptures, could only respond "How can I, unless someone should guide me?" Great volumes...buy them now!

THE Orthodox New Testament!,
By
This review is from: The Orthodox New Testament (The Holy Gospels) (Hardcover)
This is the book I have been looking for! While I appreciate the efforts of the editors of the Orthodox Study Bible, I found this 2-volume New Testament to be MUCH more to my liking. First and foremost, it features a new English translation made by Orthodox scholars primarily from an Orthodox text approved by the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Secondly, it features the direct, in-depth references to the Holy Fathers that are so often lacking in the OSB. The decision to print icons with the text was an excellent one, as the reader can readily relate to both the written and visual Word of God thereby. Clearly the editors of this text went to very great lengths to prepare and present a truly ORTHODOX Bible, and for this they are to be greatly commended. A "must-have" for every English-speaking Orthodox Christian, and extremely valuable as well for those non-Orthodox seeking to learn what the Holy Fathers (who were Orthodox, after all!) have to say about the Holy Scriptures!
