EOB: The Eastern Greek Orthodox New Testament

[Frankl]

What you think about EOB: The Eastern Greek Orthodox New Testament ?


I already have The Orthodox Study Bible which is the main Bible I'm reading from, is it worth to buy the EOB edition?

 

[ArmyMatt]

it looks good to me just looking at it quickly, but I would have to leaf through it to see if it's worth buying (for me, anyways).

 

[Xenophon]

The translation is good. I don't know if this version comes with study notes, so I can't comment on it.

 

[Knee V]

I like it better than the NKJV used in the OSB.

 

[Dok Bantis]

The bonded leather edition looks quite nice. I was considering purchasing it this week myself.

 

[E.C.]

Have they finished the Old Testament yet?

I can't recall where I read it, but if memory serves me well, it was confirmed that the work on a corresponding translation of the OT ceased a few years ago, either due to a lack of interest or funding. But a revised version of the 1844 Brenton Septuagint, produced in-house at Saint Ignatius Orthodox Press, is currently available for pre-order and is expected to ship around the end of November.

"The Brenton text was checked verse by verse against a variety of Orthodox liturgical texts, edited for accuracy and variants used in the Orthodox texts, and brought up to a formal modern style of English that compliments the English/Greek Orthodox Bible (EOB) text used in our Gospel and Epistle books."

Brenton is also a lot better than the NKJV they used for the OSB.

I am a fan of Michael Asser's translation of the LXX. It is available at Lulu

It is a revision of the KJV, bringing it into conformity with the LXX.
