Book Description
Many may ask, "What is the Septuagint?" The Septuagint is the Greek Old Testament of the Christian Church. It was the version of the Old Testament translated from the Hebrew into Greek and was used by the Greek-speaking Jews of Alexandria before the coming of Christ. The Septuagint, more than the Hebrew Old Testament, clearly shows that the prophesies of the future Messiah refer to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to no other. Also, the writers of the New Testament almost exclusively quoted from the Septuagint when they quoted the Old Testament within the pages of the New Testament. This is the Septuagint, and it is now available for the first time in over 150 years in English and based on Septuagint texts that are authorized by The Holy Orthodox Church.

Book Description
This book provides the Orthodox Church's Old Testament as derived from Sir Lancelot Brenton's translation of the Greek Septuagint/LXX. It is printed in a slightly larger font size than the one volume Classic Orthodox Bible, and offers an invaluable opportunity to study based on the Greek Old Testament with attention to cultural context. The Classic Orthodox Bible is a complete Bible that includes Sir Lancelot Brenton's translation of the Septuagint (also known as the LXX), the Greek Old Testament as it was known to Christ and many of the earliest Church Fathers. Missing verses and the New Testament are taken from the King James Version, whose style and quality are imitated by Sir Lancelot Brenton. His translation is available in tiny, hard-to-read letters in the margins of Hendrickson's Septuagint, more of a convenience to scholars reading the Greek than devotional use. Readers wishing for a complete English translation of the Septuagint in a regular Bible, and who appreciate the beauty, grandeur, and meticulous word-for-word accuracy of the King James Version will find the Classic Orthodox Bible a delight. If you only buy ONE version of the Bible to help you understand Holy Orthodoxy, without a doubt, buy the Orthodox Study Bible... But if you buy two, as there is good reason to do, you might consider the Classic Orthodox Bible. This version includes candid, clear and uncensored versions of passages that are deliberately mistranslated in most modern Bible versions (but not ancient translations the author has read).

Book Description
This book examines the receipt, transmission, and interpretation of the Old Testament in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Looking at the various ways Orthodox Christians sought to assimilate the Old Testament in the spiritual, liturgical, and doctrinal fabric of their faith community, Pentiuc pays special attention to: liturgy, iconography, monastic rules and canons, conciliar resolutions, and patristic works in Greek, Syriac and Coptic.

Book Description
This printing of the Classic Orthodox Bible has been with the blessing of Met. JONAH (Paffhausen). The English of the praying Orthodox Church, the English of the prayers and Liturgies, the English of the common Orthodox Christians and the hymn of Scripture itself, is the English of Thee's and Thou's, not the street, the TV news, or the blog. And even if they can't put a finger on it, there is something more that is beautiful about the older classic language. As one literature professor said, "The problem with the King James Version is the translators' shaky grasp of Hebrew. The problem with all modern versions is the translators' increasingly shaky grasp of English." And there's more to it than that.The Classic Orthodox Bible has, as its foundation, Sir Lancelot Brenton's translation of the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint. All other known translations that revised Sir Lancelot have revised his language to be newer and more modern; though this is not an important distinction, this text revised Sir Lancelot to be very slightly more archaic and read more authentically like the King James Version. There have been multiple changes made, though not all that many for a new Bible version. In any case the attempt was made to cut with the grain rather than against it, and to preserve and enhance a rendering that is the English of the praying Orthodox Church.A number of metaphors present themselves to the simple Christian trying to choose rightly from all the Bible versions available: there are murky waters, or a dizzying array, or a labyrinth. Whatever name is given to this confusing task, the Classic Orthodox Bible comes with a roadmap that comments not just on itself, the Classic Orthodox Bible (COB), but also the Eastern / Greek Orthodox Bible (EOB), English Standard Version (ESV), King James Version (KJV, also called the Authorized Version or AV), the Message, New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS), New International Version (NIV), New Jerusalem Bible (NJB), New King James Version (NKJV), New Living Translation (NLT), Orthodox Study Bible (OSB), and Revised Standard Versiosn (RSV).But the advice is simple.If you only read version, read the Orthodox Study Bible. But if you read more, as there is good reason, read the Classic Orthodox Bible. This book is volume 3 of a 6 volume series: Classic Orthodox Bible: Vol 1, Old Testament Law Classic Orthodox Bible: Vol 2, Old Testament Historical Books Classic Orthodox Bible, Vol 3, Old Testament Wisdom Literature Classic Orthodox Bible, Vol 4, Old Testament Prophets Classic Orthodox Bible, Vol 5, New Testament Gospels Classic Orthodox Bible, Vol 6, New Testament Epistles

Book Description
This Reader's Bible series is capitalizing on a new type of Holy Bible that has become more popular over the last few years and one that is closer to the original than not. It dispenses with chapter and verse numbers (they weren't added until the 1200s), and puts the books that were originally together (1st and 2nd Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, etc.) back into single books. This is not to say you should abandon your other Holy Bibles for this one. They all have a purpose, whether it is a study Bible, a reader's Bible, or any other type of Bible. We made this particular one at the size we did so it is easier to carry, easier to hold, and easier to read. We used a larger text size against cream-colored paper so it is easier to read outdoors in bright sunlight, as well as indoors at night under a single lamp. We split the Holy Bible up into five separate volumes, so it is easier to carry and you can bring just what you're currently reading instead of one large, bulky Bible.
