Ours arrived for our parish at least four weeks agoā¦ Just the hardcover versionsā¦ Are you meaning the leather bound editions were delayed?I ordered the same one, I thought there was a delay for it until June.
Mine has not arrived yet, thank you for the heads up
If they are being shipped, that is indeed good news!
I note the smiley, but is this a joke? Iām not sure I get it.Iām still waiting for my free Orthodox Study Bible.
No joke.I note the smiley, but is this a joke? Iām not sure I get it.
Thanks for asking. Iām not Eastern Catholic. As part of my journey back to the Roman Catholic Church, I stopped for nearly a year at Eastern Orthodoxy.(03-04) I visited several culturally unique Eastern Orthodox Churches within an hourās commute from my house.
As I understand it, the New Testament of the Orthodox Study Bible is in the New King James Version (NKJV), but the Old Testament is a new translation in the style of the NKJV of the Septuagint Version of the Old Testament, the Old Testament of the Orthodox (and Greek Catholic) Churches. The New Testament used the New King James Version because it was essentially translated from the Textus Receptus, the ecclesiastical Greek New Testament (i.e. the text of the New Testament used by the Orthodox Church.)
Actually the notes for Matthew 16 do not work for Catholics, if I am not mistake. As Matthew is one of the proof texts for the Papacy.
Ghoti=fish! Hehehe, I remember that trick from high school. That the word ghoti can be pronounced fish. Anyone else ever pick up on that?I note the smiley, but is this a joke? Iām not sure I get it.
A) I was Greek Catholic, Iām Lemko Rusyn 2nd generation American.
Yes, I ordered the leather bound through Amazon.
), but bpbasilphx has already got one. Not necessarily. The notes will take it from an Orthodox perspective: probably that the ārockā is the faith of Peter. Most of the Fathers take the same position, but that is not to say that it isnāt his faith AND Peter himself. It may be an Orthodox Bible, but it is much more helpful for Byzantine Catholics than most of the Latin Bibles.
Cool! I am an art fan. The Tremont (aka Southside) neighbourhood in Cleveland has art walks every month. One gallery is located in Lemko Hall, which used to be a Rusyn fraternal meeting house. Now it is just an art gallery. It was featured as the site of the wedding reception in The Deer Hunter. My friendās Aunt Olga and Uncle Mike taught the actors and actresses from the movie how to dance.
I havenāt heard of this at all.
Descendants of Peter? That would be interesting in the West, as Rome barely acknowledges that he was married.
Maybe.]well, ok, maybe I should just put down the crack pipe, huhā¦] .
I will argue that the Orthodox Study Bible is better for us Byzantine Catholics than the New American Bible. First, we share the same Byzantine theology with our Orthodox brethren. Our only disagreement is with Matthew 16. Secondly, the Catholic Bibles like the NAB are far worse, carrying speculative, rationalistic notes that do far more to undermine orthodox Catholic teaching than the Orthodox Study Bible does. IN fact, I would argue that a Latin Catholic would find more to appreciate in the Orthodox Study Bible than in the NAB. Catholics and Orthodox share the Fathers, and much of the notes quote the fathers. We Catholics and Orthodox share the same beliefs about salvation, the Sacraments, the Holy Theotokos, and many other issues. There is a vast, wide world of difference between the Orthodox Study Bible and the NIV Study Bible. To suggest that the Orthodox Study Bible is like using the NIV Study Bible is nonsense.
YES! The Lemko Hall in the DeerHunter!

Btw, the early Church did acknowledge the primacy of the Despocyni, the kinsmen of the Lord, including St. James the Brother of God, first bishop of Jerusalem.
OK, you know I meant successors of Peter as first among equals or whatnot, right?
although I have wondered if he took his wife and family with him around the world, or left them behindā¦
still, sounds like it might be good stuff, what do you all think?
