You all have been very helpful in offering book suggestions on various topics. I am requesting your assistance again 🙂
I wish to purchase an Orthodox Bible and am not sure which to choose. All input is very welcome and appreciated.

  If you’re not orthodox, “The Orthodox Study Bible ” MAY PERHAPS be worth a look. The articles and footnotes are geated toward non-orthodox or new converts. The translation would probably make Dr. Farrell retch – it’s basically the New King James- but it reassembled the original old testament and the articles discuss on a superficial introductory level orthodox doctrine as opposed to western. It MAY help you begin to get your bearings. Hope this helps

    I should add that quite a few Orthodox folks think some of the study guide stuff misses the mark

    Thanks Komana -it may be best for me to purchase the study guide you suggest and one that retains the more traditional translations. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

    I do NOT recommend the Orthodox Study bible. As for translations, get a King James with Apocrypha

      Thank you, Dr. Farrell, I can appreciate that. I had reservations about suggesting it. I did anyway because it’s the only English translation I know of with the Septuagint old testament and it provides “some” context as to differences between east and west theology
