Biblical Resources for Orthodox Christians

I’m currently a Protestant, but I’ve been learning about the Orthodox Church, and I recently purchased the Orthodox study Bible. Thank you for this video. I keep looking for more literature to give me understanding about the Orthodox Church.

I use the Lexham Septuagint for the Old Testament (which includes all the Orthodox books), and I use the EOB for the New Testament. Both are very good and useful translations. I have a compact KJV in my backpack for work/travel.

This was really helpful, thanks for uploading

Extremely helpful, thanks God bless and keep you and yours Cate, Aotearoa-New Zealand

I think the OSB was designed for catechumens who are just beginning to learn the liturgy. Not bad for the purpose it serves.

Thank you for this video. Pretty informative and also relaxing. Sort of ASMR even.

Interesting, thank you. But do you think you could reference the texts in the notes for the video? That would be very helpful.

Great video! Thank you. I combine the EOB with the Lexham Septuagint for my own complete Bible.

Great video !

Thank you

Thank you for your video. I have the Orthodox Study Bible and it's fine for my purposes. Since I'm not Orthodox ( but am studying Orthodoxy and was raised Baptist) it gives me a good perspective on what the Orthodox Church has believed through the ages. I don't mind skipping what the Church Fathers said on each chapter because I know already that I like St. Athanasius and don't think much of either Origen or Augustine. If I want to learn about a Church Father I can learn online. I told God a long time ago that I would only believe what He led me to know what is true. That's why He led me to Orthodoxy.

You did a very good job with this. Thank you.

I subscribed to Your channel.

Ive been planning on getting the orthodox study bible and the book of apostolic fathers book. So i can get a more indepth view with me, planning on converting to orthodox but now im unsure about getting the orthodox study bible lol

Is the Christian Standard Bible a masoretic or septuagint text? Appreciate this comparison with the OSB. I've slowly come to appreciate the brevity of the notes in the OSB. I like to think of the OSB notes as "essential", without getting too intellectual.

Question،: it could be absolutely awesome if you could make a short video explain how you filter out the comments in CSB. How do you know which comment is in agreement with Feronima (? Sorry not sure about spelling). But how do you know which comment is orthodox and which one is not? Do you filtet based on commentator? I do really need to know! Thanks!

I’ve actually been looking at the Ancient Faith Study Bible for the Patristic notes. That is really what the Orthodox Study Bible should have been. In addition, I wish the translation would have been produced separately from any study notes as an “Orthodox English Version”. I feel the translation was done for no other reason than for the OSB, thereby inseperably tying the translation to the notes. This means one cannot have say, a pocket New Testament with Psalms or the Old and New Testaments sans notes in a compact edition like you find with the RSV-CE (which is what I carry when I travel) Further, as you pointed out, the commentary fell short of what everyone was hoping for. I’m not a huge fan of study Bibles in general but the OSB isn’t terrible but it could have been SO much better.

Amigo, como faço para comprar aqui do Brasil o Novo Testamento em grego aquela edição de 1905 das igrejas Ortodoxas?

What is a good reading plan? Should just start Genesis through revelation or is there a a better way to read the whole bible?

I have a doubt , how many books are there in ur old testament canon apart from. anagignoskomena. Are these part of canon of inspired text. Or like as athanasius said worthy to be read not inspired?
