This alert comes from the Gauthiers, friends of my friends, the Woods:
The Orthodox Study Bible, created by The Orthodox Study Bible Old Testament Project and published by Thomas Nelson, is now available from Conciliar Press. It uses the New King James Version of the Bible as the basis for a fresh translation of the Septuagint text. The Septuagint is the Greek version of the Bible used by Christ, the Apostles, and the early church.
The new Orthodox Study Bible contains the entire Old Testament of the Orthodox Church, including the "Deuterocanonical" books. Although based on the New King James Version, it offers a fresh translation from the Greek text of the Septuagint.
The Orthodox Study Bible also includes:
New Testament from the New King James Version
Commentary drawn from the early Church Christians
Easy-to-Locate liturgical readings
Book Introductions and Outlines
Subject Index
Full-color Icons
Full-color Maps
Be sure to check out the sample pages. As might be expected, the note on Genesis 1:2 makes it clear that the Spirit of God proceeds from the Father. Period. (!) Actually, I'm quite excited about this Bible. It may be a godsend for those of us who are interested in Trinitarian theology, and see it as the way to heal our divided churches. I'm going to tell A.J. at Onyx House about it right away.
