Orthodox Study Bible gang rise up!!!

I bought an NKJV Orthodox Study Bible at the local Greek Festival a few years ago. I finally got over my Protestant bias against the Apocrypha.

Got my father to order this bible for me going to have clean the entire house for it but so worth it

“Where Frodo needs to destroy the ring here...” I LOLed.

I have that Bible, but in the "leather/soft" version. It's really nice.

The craziest thing just happened Bojan. I have my phone in my hands with my hands on this bible when I clicked on your videos, and i thought my camera was on for half a second because it was the same view as when I look down at my desk

10/10 will read again

I lol’d at the Frodo and map comment.

I own a copy of said Bible. I have heard nothing but good things about it from the Orthodox world. I own one because it is one of the few Bibles that offers some of the extra canonical books of the Orthodox Church (i.e. 3 and 4 Maccabees, etc.) that the Catholic Bible doesn’t contain. Also, I own it because a professor at my alma mater is one of the priests who helped compile and edit the OSB.

I have a Russian New Testamen that was printed before the revolution. I

I rescued an edition from being destroyed. It was part of a confiscated/seized lot of leftover unclaimed items somewhere I worked and protocols were to liquidate such items for liability reasons. It is one of my favourite Bibles that I keep in my personal library.

Thank you so much!!!!

This is what I need right here an Orthodox Study Bible!

I have the Orthodox Study Bile. I love it. I bought my wife a really cool CHRONOLOGICAL study Bible. Yes, chronological! I am still making my way through mine, before I tackle hers, but I am looking forward to seeing the biblical story told in the order in which it happened.

Thank you for this upload

Greetings, Christina! (Kristina?) Blessings to your family, B! 🙏🕯☦

I had to ship my copy from the United States to my country. I'm so blessed to get the copy. Though I did not notice the map of the Lord of the Rings at the end. XD

I have the Orthodox Study Bible, and I like it, but from my perspective, it is really very light on the 'study' part. Very few notes. Little commentary. I don't find it exceptionally useful for study. But I am comparing it to the other study bibles I've used. If it is all you have, it's great. A good starting point, but I would like to see the next edition expanded.

Excellent video and quick review.

Thank you my wife only speaks English so this will be great .. Zevela Srbija CCCC

I am still waiting for this bible to be in stock in my local book store. Good timing for the review.

That LOTR reference killed me! You can thanks Tolkien for me being her, interested in the Bible!

Yes I love this one!!!!!

I love the Bible and is my daily go to Bible.

I love this Bible, I have this and a King James with all the “deutero-canonical” books

Longtime subscriber here, JUST discovered OrthoReview last week. It'd be weird, but would love to see you two livestream together. I mean it would be REALLY weird.

Me too, I have a Bible like that from the same company!

as a person who is *Ahem* years old- I wish it was available in large print!

Frodo...LOL I have this Bible too and enjoy reviewing the Orthodox perspective from it. Thanks for the review!

Great Bible. Only issues are that the OT notes could use some work and that the OT translation isn't always an accurate translation of the Septuagint. Take a look at R. Grant Jones's (Anglican Bible reviewer) review of this book. He points out many translation errors with the OT. Perhaps a 2nd Edition can fix these issues. Other than that, the OSB is phenomenal. Every English speaking Orthodox Christian today should own one.

I am reading the Jerusalem Bible in Spanish.

You are correct, Bojan! New King James: Pause the video at 3:03 and you can see it on the copyright page. Thanks for this nice overview of what the OSB has to offer.

I also got this as my main Bible for reading.

Anglo-Catholic who prefers this for his OT readings. It is a great book, esp. if you want to see the full Bible.

I like Tobit, too👍

I'm ordering my Orthodox Study Bible this week. Orthodox is on the rise!

That quote is Shakespeare, from the merchant of Venice

I have orthodox Bibil from India

Omg very funny video, and informative. Thank you! lol

There’s a great app, that has the entire Orthodox calendar (I use the old calendar) but it has all the daily scripture readings listed. As well the saints the commemorated on that day

I still don't understand why they went with the NKJV for the NT. King James was a Protestant who had no authority to translate the bible and made his Bible translation for Protestants. Also, this should have included 4th Maccabees and Enoch in the Septuagint. Otherwise, it seems like a great study Bible from the orthodox perspective considering the notes.

I have it! It's great. 😃💜

I've got a copy (2008 print), but am a bit disappointed to have discovered more than a few spelling/grammar formatting errors in it, but once you get past that, it's a great thing to have.

8:10 I can't believe Thomas Nelson copied Tolkein and decided to place maps in their book.😏😏

lol...Frodo. the Concordance is very handy. and to really, really study an English speaker should get a copy of Strong's English, Greek, and Hebrew Concordance. ok. love you. bye.

Cant wait for Christ.

Me personally I really don't like that the pages are so thin for a study Bible, print could be a little bit larger but is good, it should have a leatherette softcover version too if they decided to print on such thin paper instead of hard cover only, and a lot of experts have noted that the study notes are good but not the best/extensive. Especially on the old testament part. And some translation issues (presumably some shortening due to cost issues with the publisher). I hope they make a re-issue.

Right now church is not open so I am cramming myself at home and I have purchased some inexpensive Orthodox items including 33 knot prayer rope for the Jesus prayer. I know it's only 33 but another father of the church said that you should start slow.

What is the stance of Serbian orthodox Church on OSB? Was there a review?

I own the Lutheran Study Bible by Concordia Publishing (Considered one of the better study bibles out there) I will get this Orthodox Study Bible and the St. Ignatius Study Bible as well one day. That way I can have one of each :D

I have that same Bible, given to me by my grandma :D I didn't know it was that popular outside America There's also an official Orthodox Study Bible on the App Store, it costs a few dollars but it is very worth it

Bojane, da li postoji verzija na srpskom?

Hey I have the same Bible

This is my bible as well. It only cost $20. And is full of the teachings of the Church on different passages.

I was troubled whether this Bible was good, because I recommended this to my Chinese friend. But if Bojan thinks it good, then it's safe for her. Thanks!

Bible Illustrated if don't mind me asking why do certain other bible leave out other books

as a lutheran the book of tobit is also my favorite book of the old testament (dont ask)

I am not sure whether you mentioned it in the video, but is the Bible translated from the Septuagint or from the hebrew texts? In my knowledge the OC uses the LXX texts

Is there an orthodox bible app in English?

My only issue with this Bible and most bibles is that the thin thin onion skin paper is extremely delicate I'm a very big man a giant it's hard to not Rip the paper I paid 90 dollars for a 1611 kjv a few years ago that had very very nice and thick premium paper I am by far not rich I'm actually impoverished but I would spend a very pretty penny if they made a deluxe version of this Bible with much better paper

I use a recovery version it seems similar

†❤️

And how Frodo needs to destroy the ring...here. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have the Ancient Faith leather soft edition. Mine's better than yours lol just kidding!

Have a KJV as it’s the most beautiful and the OSB, which I read for ease of understanding. Some of the footnotes are frankly useless (repeating the text!) but the lectionary is very helpful, albeit not 100% inline with our tradition. The full page notes are very helpful. Recommended but don’t expect it to be perfect

...Frodo...lol!!!!

"I'm just spreading the hearsay, because that's what you're supposed to do" ROFL Also, is that hexagonal plate a mineral of some kind?

To be fair, unless you know greek and can read both testaments on the prototype (I know that the septuagint is a translation but since it has divine approval (ie christ and the apostles quote directly from it) for me its settled), you are going to have small errors or omissions here and there because each language has its own nuances. For example in the parable of the last judgement when Christ declares damnation for the goats the greek phrase can both mean "depart from me into the eternal fire prepared FOR the devil and his angels" or "depart from me into the eternal fire prepared BY the devil and his angels" at the same time, indicating that hell was made for the devil (so the humans were not supposed to end up there, they could do otherwise), because he invented it for himself (meaning that hell does not exist from God's side, but only from the side of those who make it for themselves). Because the passage permits both translations, selecting either of those loses the nuance.

How do i repair a torn page?

The ORTHODOX church apparently switched from the KJV to the NKJV ... Why ?

What is so important about this bible? What makes it different from others? Is this a good Bible to start with? And why? Please help!

I bought one even though I’m Jewish

There are not many options for Orthodox bibles.

I am very new to this although I have a head full of information. I have been listening to Father seraphim Cardoza and Abbott t y f o n I think that's how it's spelled. Are these good people to listen to? I don't know yet who's going to listen to and who is promoting bad things.

First!

Wasnt the deuterocannon considered non canonical even in Christ's time?

i wish this bible came without all of the commentary! id like one just to read and not study

the old testament is the national literature of a people, the books written in it span centuries and it's filled with different genres. Some books are just lists of prayers and songs, others are long histories. The new testament much shorter, all of it books written within a few decades after Jesus, and they are almost completely centred around him. A good chunk isn't a narrative that can be re interpreted as just metaphorical stories, but letters from early Christians just talking about what supernatural stuff they believe and why they literally believe it. Some of the Pauline epistles even have the benefit of most scholars agreeing they are from Paul, I think its obvious why the new testament is easier to understand.

For some reason youtube started showing me a bunch of goofy protestant preachers giving their own interpretation of scripture, may God bless them but I'm not interested in hearing "EASTER=ISHTAR" and similar errors

its intrestin that its in english and not in ur native serb #serbia4eva

You have too many thumbs to be making this content.

Spoiler alert: Jesus dies

Chubby fingers

Show me a bible that proves a god exists or that any particular set of beliefs are correct and true above all other 3,000 distinct and 45,000 sub-brands of Christianity, and all other 3,999 brands of world religions, and I’ll buy it…
