Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
THE NEW AND EXPANDED SECOND EDITION Our first edition [ISBN 0-944359-14-0] of ACTS, EPISTLES, AND REVELATION or PRAXAPOSTOLOS of THE ORTHODOX NEW TESTAMENT was highly acclaimed and well received. We thank loyal 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 0-944359-18-3]. 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 Greec! e, under the presidency of Metropolitan Kallinikos of Fthiotidos and Thavmakos.

A mixed blessing,
By
This review is from: The Orthodox New Testament (Acts, Epistles, and Revelation) (Hardcover)
In many ways I think that this is an excellent study Bible - it is not, however, one I would recommend to those who are simply looking for a Bible to read casually.
The text from which this Bible is translated is the 1912 text authorized by the Ecumenical Patriarch. Similar in many ways to Textus Receptus, there are minor differences. The authors have deliberately chosen to use archaic English, in part because of the usage of "thee" and "thou" as the second person singular and "ye" and "you" for the second person plural -- this is an advantage for those who want to be able to distinguish which "you" the writer is referring to, but makes it somewhat awkward for modern readers. The translators are to be commended for accurately translating the Greek words in the same tenses used by the authors, but this does sacrifice some of the beauty which is found in the Authorized - King James versions. The notes utilizing quotations from the Early Church Fathers is interesting and unique, but I wish that they had been included on the bottom of the page to which the referance appears instead of at the back of that particular book of the Bible. Also, this book is aimed at those already familiar with the teachings of the Orthodox Church -- it would be nice to have some commentary reflecting the teachings and understanding of particular texts by the Church in order to serve as a better evangelistic and catechetical work. This Bible is attractively bound, and the type is large enough for these old eyes of mine to read.

This review is from: The Orthodox New Testament (Acts, Epistles, and Revelation) (Hardcover)
I have to say that this translation and quotation notes is by far one of the best combinations out there. The only thing that compares to the use of writings of the Church fathers is maybe the Ancient faith commentary, but those are all done book by book while this encompasses all the epistles

Best Bible Ever!,
By
This review is from: The Orthodox New Testament (Acts, Epistles, and Revelation) (Hardcover)
Just like the match Gospels, book, not only is the translation clear to read and faithful to the original Kione Greek, but the Patristic quotes used for the footnotes, makes it far superior to other "Study Bible" or translations. No Christian should be without theis Bible!
