Received a gift certificate for Barnes & Noble over Christmas and was thinking of spending it on some books about orthodoxy. So what would you recommend? I was thinking either "Becoming Orthodox" by Peter Gilquist or The Orthodox Study Bible. I haven't actually looked at the OSB in person...is it a good resource?

The OSB isn't perfect, but it is one of the few English translations of the Greek Septuagint.
You'd be hard pressed to find books about Orthodoxy at bookstores like Barnes and Noble (they like to lump us in with the Roman Catholics
) but I would recommend "The Orthodox Church" by Bishop Kallistos (Timothy) Ware.

Yeah, while not perfectly translated (like many other Bibles), the OSB is definitely worth having.
