Most glaring is the note on John 6: 60-64. "Jesus has been speaking of spiritual realities, not the actual eating of His flesh". (page 1296). There may be others but this one caught my eye right off the bat. Just my take! Happy Father's Day to all you fathers!! Silouan, monk

But is a reasonably sound, ecumenical study Bible, which features a moderate use of historical-criticism. If I want an Orthodox perspective, I use my Orthodox Study Bible. The RSV translation is a good benefit, and I like that it has 4th Maccabees. Thanks, Silouan, for your father's day greetings!
