I believe that one is based on KJV but also offers explanations, studies and extended thoughts from the Orthodox branch of Christianity

Just get an interlinear bible. The translations always try to be as literal as possible and they can help you learn Greek.

>>17431937
Yes, this is true. So to OP, ditch your regular KJV and get this one instead.

>>17431937
Orthodox is the tree trunk, not a branch

>>17431910
Get the Oxford Annotated Bible (NRSV). I prefer this one to the Harper Collins Study Bible.
I also own the Orthodox Study NT, which is NKJV.

The OT is a new translation of the Septuagint, in contrast to the KJV that uses the Masoretic Text. The NT is literally NKJV.
>Orthodox branch of Christianity
The Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is the trunk that all christian traditions split off from.

Spent the last year studying the Thomas Nelson King James Study Bible. A much more thorough resource.

The trunk is the historical Judaism.

tl;dr? I'm skeptical about watching anything women, especially a fat women.

>>17436040
Judaism stopped with the messiah and Talmudist infidelity takes then.

>>17436040
>The trunk is the historical Judaism.
There were two types of Judeans after AD 70. One group moved to Yahvneh and became the Jews, and the other group moved to Antioch and became Christians.

Just get this

The trunk Canaanite polytheism and middle eastern shamanism.

>>17431910
Yeah anon, it gives an interesting way to 'reconcile' or connect the Old and New Testaments.

All wrong. The trunk is Islam

The OSB uses the NKJV translation, a good reason to pick it would be the extensive footnotes.
If you don't care for footnotes or a study bible and want a reader's bible the KJV should do.
You might also want to look into EOB.

>>17439059
The footnotes are almost all filler and no duh material in order to inflate the price of the book and fleece people. The entire religion is about pointless consumerism as piety, some parishes even charge for baptism. A striking contrast to the ideals of its monastic literature

>>17431910
The Orthodox Study Bible was not authorized by any Orthodox Church or ecumenical patriarchate, and it's considered to be too evangelical.

>>17439152
It's literally the only complete Orthodox translation of the Bible lol

>>17431910
NABRE

>>17439161
For an Orthodox Bible, it's very Un-Orthodox.

As opposed to a Catholic or Protestant translation?

Orthodox are very opinionated and often say very contrary things, the monks of mount Athos for example will often get very angry at their patriarch. Orthodox info is a particularly opinionated site.

>>17432206
Lolno, an interlinear is useless as a translation because English grammar is totally different to Greek or Hebrew. If you are learning the original languages you will be using a dictionary and grammar guides so an interlinear will be useless for that too.

Interlinears are the tools of people fooling themselves into thinking they are reading the original languages, the same goes for Strong's concordance.

>>17431910
get it its the best Ortho Bible, best commentary over all as well.
