Because I have respected your commitment to The Word of God, and have been watching your reviews (how can you go wrong when your feel as if the Thompson Chain Link Study Bible is the best study Bible!) I decided to violate my policy of not leaving comments on KZfaq. There are two points for clarification: (1) The (Roman) Catholic Church is not the same thing as the (Greek) Orthodox Church. This Bible is done by the Orthodox Church. Pages XXI through XXVII in the introduction explain the differences between the two churches. (2) The Old Testament is the English translation of the Greek Septuagint (LXX). The Septuagint was the (Old Testament) translated from the Hebrew into Greek in Alexandria by seventy scholars in the 3rd century before Jesus. Most of the Old Testament quotes in the New Testament are from the Septuagint rather than from the Masoretic version. This Bible is unique because it is the Septuagint translated from the Greek by Orthodox Greek speaking scholars into modern English. Every time I think you have covered all the possible things to say about Bibles and the importance of God’s Word you come up with something new. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into creatively sharing the Word of God.

Nice. I’m on a journey twords ancient Christianity myself. God bless!

What a blessing you received! Thank you Cat for sharing!

Good bless you Cat Woods. I really love this video, very informative and high quality. Thank you!

Nice review of the OSB. I've been thinking of getting one. I love studying and reading scripture. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, I just purchased a used version from 1993. Can't wait for it to arrive.

It’s always neat to see things like this!

I've considered adding this one to my collection... thank you for doing this review.

This exact Bible and the New Believers Bible, in the NLT, edited by Pastor Greg Laurie, are the two main Bibles that I read every single day for my Bible study. There is so much information in this Bible. It is a MUST if you're a new Believer. I highly recommend this glorious Bible. Peace and Blessings.

Beautiful. I am Greek Orthodox, but I love and actually read NRSV and Catholic bibles (opposites attract).🌷🌿🌷

It's not a Roman Catholic but an Eastern Orthodox Church Bible. A difference. The "pictures" are Icons.

I’m orthodox Christian and I have this exact bible! Love it, love the original Christianity bible 😍 and the original artworks too etc hehe

I have this bible and I love it! The Orthodox and Catholic church are two different denominations. Lots to be said about that but The Great Schism is a good place to start researching.

I so enjoy your sheer excitement ☺

Wonderful!! I’ve been wanting to see this Bible. I’m thinking about purchasing it. 😄 It’s an orthodox Christian Bible. Technically they have a few more books in the Bible than the Catholics do, but not as many as the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians do.

As an Eastern Orthodox Christian convert... I have lots of Bibles from my life and from family that are passed. I like this one because of the study notes... it's a NKJ...

I didn't know now that now they are also printing The Orthodox Study Bible in the United States. From your review I can tell the quality is superior than the ones printed in China. Nice review!

Such an interesting Bible. I don't mean to sound dumb cuz I've been a Christian about all my life, but I have a question. What is the difference between a Christian and an Orthodox Christian? I am really needing to do some research on finding a Bible translated strictly from Hebrew or Greek, with none of the extra words added to help it make sense, ie: italic/slanted words in KJV Bibles. Thank you, Cat. Awesome review of what looks like another awesome Bible. Blessings!

I thought the hardcover was a glued binding. I had to buy a leathersoft to get it smyth sown. I do believe they had an ancient faith edition hardcover that is smyth sown as well. And it comes with a ribbon marker.

I have an older version of the Orthodox Study Bible, but am saving up for this new one. With seven or eight more new pages in it, and better quality, it would be a Bible to reach for. Thanks for the review. Saying Orthodox is not Catholic is not quite right, we are the "One Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church" .... just not Roman Catholic. Second largest Church in the world. Hope you have pleasant reading. Orthodoxy is fascinating to study and read about the ancient Church.

Does the Orthodox Study Bible in your review have a sewn binding. One other reviewer says it does not. See at the 2 minute mark: (1) The Orthodox Study Bible -- An Overview and Critique - KZfaq I have been told by another source that it does.

Cat, I sent you a copy of the New Believer's Bible, I hope that you will review it and do a video review on it. I hope that you will find it as engaging as I do. Blessings, Lana.

Wonderful review sis! Check your FB messages :) Love you!
