The cover looks nice.

Conscience may lash us, but it cannot replenish a languishing life. Conscience may be God's word and minister to you, telling you of your faults and your follies and your destitution. It may point out, but it will never supply you. Christ must give you new life. Hart has well expressed it: "He to the feeble and the faint, His mighty aid makes known; and when their languid life is spent, supplies it with His own." - J. K. Popham

Did you get it? If so how is it?

I keep placing it in my cart and taking it out...I'm not sure I want it. It's more like a novelty then a book I'd read.

Is that a study Bible put out by the Orthodox church? If so, the notes would contain their theology. I don't know if you would have a use for it. It would be like buying a Catholic study Bible.

What is the ISBN for that edition of the Orthodox Study Bible?

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.

A fellow educator that I work with is Greek Orthodox and he lent me his study Bible to peruse. I believe it was the one that is being discussed. Translation was NKJV. Not surprising, given the Byzantine-base. Notes, if I remember correctly, were very much geared at justifying the Orthodox tradition. He offered to get me one (just cannot seem to have enough Bibles!), but there clearly was not profit in me having one, given some of the theological espousings contained in the notes.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:24

It would be useful if you deal with EO's.

True. But with the wealth of information available to us via the web regarding the GO theological structure, we may be better served to put that money toward something more profitable--such as another purchase from Allan and Sons (see, just cannot have enough).

You’re absolutely right.

As for the Allan’s Bibles, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them but I recently ordered a Bible from TBS (printed by Cambridge) and it’s exceeded my expectations. It’s a wonderful Bible, great quality and even includes the Scottish Psalter!

(I still think the Orthodox Bible is purrtee.)

ISBN 978-0-7180-0359-3
The text is NKJV excet where that does not depart from the text of the Septuagint. The translation of the Apocrypha is very readable.

Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to do it and to teach its statues in Isreal.

You have one?

Evangelicals seem to have a weird fascination with this study Bible.

The Pitt Minion I purchased from TBS has been put through the wringer of difficult circumstance and is still wonderfully intact. All of that for $56.
Sorry to be a bit

It's nice to have a line drawn clearly in the sand.

I have one. The translation is very readable, but the notes are infected with pelagianism, except where the Church Fathers are quoted directly, which are few and far between.
