Red-Leather Orthodox Study Bible

[AureateDawn]

Hey. I recently moved into a new apartment and found my old OSB. It's not written in at all, and it had been stored in a Bible carrying case. Looks new. It's the red leather edition that was limited time, and there are no plans for reprint. I bought it for right at $100 a couple years ago. Here's a picture of it from the official website (I made it a link because it's a really big image): Click here!

Anyways, I don't really intend to convert back, so I thought I'd see if anyone here wanted to buy it from me. I kinda don't wanna get rid of it because it's really pretty, lol, but I'm struggling with rent this month. Plus, I figured that it would be put to much better use by someone else.

You could donate it to the local church.

 

[ProScribe]

I already have one.

 

[Philothei]

Keep it! But if you definately want to sell it you can do that through Ebay

 

[Ortho_Cat]

I think some day you might regret getting rid of it, even if you don't return to Orthodoxy. If you are going to own 1 bible, that would be the one to have.

I would definitely want to buy it from you, but you may need it someday. I would say keep it.

 

[ArmyMatt]

keep it I would say, you never know what God could have in store for you

 

[Thekla]

Regardless of personal religious affiliation or belief, every bookshelf (at least in certain geographical areas) should include a Bible.

It is - or was - an essential book for understanding our history, culture, society, and literary development.

It also is considered to have literary merit in its own right.

And if one is Christian, it is of course much more.

I mean, I do live in the South. What kind of respectable person would I be if I didn't have a Bible in my home??

I dunno. I need some extra money for rent so I was thinking about it. Still will probably sell it, but I'm reconsidering at least. <3

 

[Annoula]

i hope you find the money you need for your rent without selling the Bible.

i believe everyone in here is happy to see you and will be happier if you post from time to time and let us know how you are doing.

i wish you all the best!

 

[neon_knights]

If you decide to sell, PM me. I really hope you keep it though.

Is the OSB worth buying, i have heard mixed things from people on the net, some love it, some say it is "protestantized".

 

[gzt]

I'm not a huge fan of it (I prefer the Oxford Study Bible), but if you're in the market for a Bible, you could certainly do worse.

Why do you not want to convert back? I am new in the church and i have found the church to be such an awesome source of joy/peace.

I love it. The commentary is excellent and very Orthodox.

Is there a commentary on the OT?

 

[JM]

I wish I bought one when they were still for sale...

 

[Dorothea]

You're young yet. Keep it because who knows where you'll be spiritual-wise 20-30 years from now.

 

[Dorothea]

Me too. I've heard it's very elementary and seems more geered to converts. I apparently need elementary to understand as I'm pretty simple-minded, and I do get a lot out of the basics and such.

 

[Philothei]

Yeah the commentaries are awesome
