This is NOT a 100% translation of the Greek Septuagint. It is, instead, the King James Version of the Bible with additions from the Greek Septuagint. I thought it was the former, but it is really the latter. My buyer's fever has subsided but if I were to look for the Septuagint in English, I might look next at the Septuagint from Oxford University Press. Given what it is, it is impossible to tell by inspection if I'm reading the KJV or the LXX, except by prior knowledge. I'm not sure when anyone has last done a complete 100% translation into English, so I suggest a prospective buyer should pay attention to the description of the version they want to purchase.

The Orthodox Study Bible

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

I just recently received my OSB and thought I'd go ahead and give a "post-study" review.

First impressions:
The paper cover over the book itself was slightly bent up, however, the binding of the hard-back itself is nice. It's also worth mentioning that for the print, a lower quality paper is used (so if you're like myself and make a habit out of marking up bibles, get ready for some bleed-through), but considering the book is only about $40, I think you get what you pay for. With that being said, I would have gladly paid more for better paper quality and a page ribbon or two.

After a "trial study" and reading the first five chapters of Genesis and Revelation, the notes are very straight forward, and feature paraphrases and commentary from the Saints, as well as tie-ins to misuse of scripture by heretics.

Over all, I'm very happy with my OSB.

As a pentecostal I was very interested about how the Christian body eventually broke into all these denominations. Going to my church elders wasn't as help as I thought. Ministers seem to go back and forth about denominations (like pentecostals are the only ones going to heaven). After some research I finally came to the Orthodox church. It seemed like the Orthodox church was the closest to the original teachings of the Apostles. I love the commentaries and liturgy of morning and evening prayers (which I have done every since buying this bible). For some reason this bible has a certain "smell" which I can't figure out. That smell has now taken over my bookshelf with all my bibles and study guides. It's a good smell that I believe could just be in my head (or is it?) All in all I would encourage anyone interested in seeking a deeper understanding of the early churches of Acts to get this bible. I only gave it a 4 stars because it doesnt compare up to my Life Application bible in regards to bible helps but I somehow feel "closer" while using the Orthodox bible.

Not the Orthodox Bible you're expecting

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was looking for the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible which includes many apocrypha not included in the US bible.
That's NOT what this is.
It says Greek Orthodox Bible when you open the book, however, it's not that either (as another reviewer has already pointed out).
So, this forced me to approach this book by looking at each individual book to see exactly what it is.
That's incredibly tedious. But here are my results.

This book contains all of the books in the regular KJV bible (and most other US bibles):
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Psalms, Job, Proverbs of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Nanum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Exekiel, and Daniel from the OLD TESTAMENT.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation from the NEW TESTAMENT.

It also contains the following books which are NOT in the KJV or other US bibles:
2 Ezra
Tobit
Judith (very disappointing)
1 Maccabees
2 Maccabees
3 Maccabees
Wisdom of Solomon (my favorite book of all)
Wisdom of Sirach
Baruch
Epistle of Jeremiah

ALL of these apocryphal books are in the old testament and not the new testament so if you're expecting wisdom from Jesus Christ you will not find it in here. I was extremely disappointed with the books selected for this bible because they're very slanted toward Jewish Orthodox religion, not Christian and yet this is supposed to be a Christian bible. :(

Most disappointing for me was JUDITH. It's completely told as a Jewish text and was completely overrated.

My favorite book was WISDOM OF SOLOMON which is a beautiful text, but it's also free online, so buying thie entire book just for that is rather silly. My favorite chapter is Wisdom of Solomon 7 which is about wisdom and how Solomon became a great man and an exceptional follower of God. If you want to truly understand how to follow God start reading there (and read it for free at KingJamesBibleOnline).

Are you seeking the Way, the Light and the Truth? Repent in your heart, forgive all, and give thanks to the Lord. The Lord will always be there. He will love and comfort you when you do wrong, and reprimand and encourage you when you think you’re doing right. We are children to the Father. Our true Father. God said not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, we weren’t ready, now we are learning this lesson on our way back into communion with Him. Praise the Lord, and seek out the glory of God!

Excellent resource but needs proofreading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

An excellent resource, just one small issue that it needs proofreading because I've already found text missing joel 3:12-21 is mentioned in the lectionary but is unavailable in the text. This is at least the kindle version. I look forward to it being properly proofread though and corrections made because then it would be excellent.

Beautiful tome that in spite of 1800+ pages lies well in the hand. Pleasant type face. Lacks contents page and could do with some marker ribbons.
The text notes and the additional articles are concise and clear and illuminating.
Icons beautiful.

A book that draws you deeper into Faith and Scripture; which is what this reader needs.

I just opened it as it’s a gift for my daughter for Christmas. I haven’t had a proper look but at first glance it’s worth the money. The paper is thin as I remember bibles to be when I was growing up. It’s a very shiny covering and the colour is beautiful. I’m thrllled with the product as I know my daughter will be too. Thank you

If you are serious about Bible study you must have this book - great supplier too

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2015

I have used the New Testament a lot, Even though I am not of the Orthodox Church. This is a wonderful addition to complete the Bible. If you are a serious Bible reader you MUST have this book on your shelf. It gives a different view to the Western Christian view. I find this gives food for thought and for me a feeling that I would like to learn more about a church which developed in parallel to Western Christianity with an impressive provenance. Honestly you will kick yourself if you don't buy this well priced wonderful book from an excellent supplier.
