Our priest said that our bulk purchase of hardback Orthodox Study Bibles have arrived at church. Maybe the leatherbound ones will arrive shortly.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Congrats!
I would love leather, but I would always wonder if it came from an un-Christian (ethic-wise) source. So I will probably get hardback ASAP. I am quite excite to get it.

Always leatherbound. They can usually lie flat/open on the table or desk, esp. if they're a large Bible, whereas hardbound ones sometimes can't/don't. YMMV.
Plus, they smell so nice, too!

I agree. I love leather Bibles.
About the smell, I bought a new leather Bible several years ago and this one girl who was a friend of mine at the time kept stealing it from me during church just because it still had the 'new leather smell'. Gr. Very difficult to keep track of it when she kept taking it just to sniff it. That sounds weird.

So I guess the softback and leather don't come until June... wonder if they'll ship them separate since I ordered a hardback and a leather... I hope they do, otherwise I might cry...

I was hoping to have my pre-ordered leather bound by Lent. Especially since we have so many OT readings.M.

OrthodoxStudyBible.com still has the leather listed for release this month so I'm still hoping to have my leatherbound copy by Lent.

Those who pre-ordered direct from Conciliar Press via their promotion last year should get them before Amazon has them in stock - i.e., February versus March.
I looked at it tonight. It seemed okay. Some of the Psalms they changed from the previous OSB NT+Psalms - e.g., Psalm 2:12 and Psalm 39:7 (Hebrew 40:6). I noticed that they did NOT change Psalm 22 (23) to conform to the LXX, though - it still says, "The Lord is my shepherd" instead of "The Lord shepherds me" and it says "my cup runneth over" instead of "Your cup intoxicates me like the most excellent [ ]" I don't know if that was an oversight, a deliberate decision (because of familiarity), or if the LXX text they used for this matches the Hebrew in this instance. I was a bit disappointed to see this. Also, the notes don't seem nearly as extensive as I'd hoped, and they only very rarely give a Father's name beside a comment, from what I saw.

If I put the hardback version in the cart at Amazon and do a check out (then cancel LOL) it says estimated delivery is Feb 14th (w 2 day shipping). So I'm thinking they are getting them on the 12th like it has been released.
I've found with them that in a lot of cases when I pre order something it shows up a day or two early...
