Book Reviews of The Orthodox Study Bible: Ancient Christianity Speaks to Today's World (Bible)
Book Review: Could have been better
Summary: 3 Stars
Unfortunately, I am not pleased with this release of the Orthodox Study Bible. (And it's not because I also have translated the Greek Septuagint.)
My main reason is this:
The editors have totally renumbered the verses in the Old Testament, making it practically impossible to follow along and compare with other editions.
In my edition, I informed the readers that "The LXX omits this verse." This makes it easier to follow along, for the non-orthodox reader, who wants to compare this edition with what they are familiar with, to learn more about the Septuagint. Books like 1 Samuel now are virtually impossible to compare one translation with another.
Other than that, it is nice to have a contemporary Bible that uses the Greek Septuagint as the Old Testament text.
