Picked up the Orthodox New Testament #220592 01/20/07 10:21 AM

It translates from the 1912 Byzantine Text, and uses the KJV as a starting point, but clarifying some words. It uses words Greek theological words, like Logos and hypostasis in the text. It is wonderful, maintaining much the KJV phraseology, but more accurate and understandable. Retains thees and thous, eth, est, verb endings. I just love it. Also has icons printed on several pages. Fits in a small bible cover, very portable. It has very easy to read print, large for the size of the book, and is printed in single column format. I highly recommend it. It is my new first string bible.

But I am enjoying the text version. It is a delight to read!

Maybe so, but their two-volume edition of the New Testament is outstanding: especially for the patristic commentary. -- John
