I ordered the same one, I thought there was a delay for it until June. :confused:

Mine has not arrived yet, thank you for the heads up šŸ‘

If they are being shipped, that is indeed good news!
Ours arrived for our parish at least four weeks ago… Just the hardcover versions… Are you meaning the leather bound editions were delayed?
 
this new edition is a truly Orthodox bible rather than King James version?
 
Are you now Eastern Catholic?
Thanks for asking. I’m 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 hour’s commute from my house.

It was easier for an evangelical like me to look at the ā€œEarly Churchā€ without going all the way back to Rome.

Without going into my story, it’s pretty similar to this guy named Jimmy Akin, of Catholic Answers.
See Jimmy’s article: Why I am not Eastern Orthodox

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.)

I second this post. I do not see the problem with say someone in the UGGC or Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church reading the OSB. If it is like the OSB-NT, the commentary is simply awesome and doesn’t hint at anything negative towards Catholics.
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.

No one here would advocate that a Catholic purchase the NIV Study Bible so I find it funny that Catholics should by some other non-catholic Study Bible.

As for the ā€œOrthodox Traditionā€ being ā€œthe theological/spiritual tradition of Byzantine rite Catholicsā€, not entirely. We are still Catholics and hold to what the Catholic Church Teaches, again, regardless of what some may think.
 
Is the Bible available in bookstores yet? I am thinking of purchasing one, but I would actually like to see it first rather than just ordering it and hoping I like it.
 
I note the smiley, but is this a joke? I’m not sure I get it. :confused:
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?

A) I was Greek Catholic, I’m Lemko Rusyn 2nd generation American.
B) Seriously, regardless, if you subscribe to Matthew 16 or not, a person can still read the OSB objectively. For maybe 1/10 of one percent may disagree with you, the other 99.99% will be perfectly just fine.

Yes, I ordered the leather bound through Amazon.

They indicated a delay for that style until June (last I checked, Amazon is still indicating June :(), but bpbasilphx has already got one. šŸ™‚

I hope mine comes soon.

Not necessarily. The notes will take it from an Orthodox perspective: probably that the ā€œrockā€ is the faith of Peter. Most of the Fathers take the same position, but that is not to say that it isn’t 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 friend’s Aunt Olga and Uncle Mike taught the actors and actresses from the movie how to dance.
 
this New Orthodox Study Bible IS different than the Eastern Orthodox Bible now being submitted to the various orthodox patriarchs for review and blessing, correct??
the NOSB is translated from the KJV or NKJV, not that I am convinced that that is such a terrible thing, but isn’t the EOB coming out this year from the ecumenical patriarch angle a fresh translation from the handed down Greek septuigint (or however you spell it, sorry), and going to include without apology the deutrocanonical books of the O.T., and all that? It seems that one may be the one to look for.
I haven’t heard of this at all.
I am hoping any study note stuff at the bottom of the page will at least acknowledge the primacy of the decendants of Peter,
Descendants of Peter? That would be interesting in the West, as Rome barely acknowledges that he was married.

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.
]well, ok, maybe I should just put down the crack pipe, huhā€¦šŸ˜¦ ] .
Maybe.

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.

Amen, Lance, Amen!

As far as I can tell so far, the OSB takes NO NOTICE whatsoever of ā€œhigher Biblical criticism.ā€

YES! The Lemko Hall in the DeerHunter!

😊 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 behind…
