EOB: The Eastern Greek Orthodox New Testament: Based on the Official Text of the Greek Orthodox Church (Patriarchal Text of 1904) (EOB: The Eastern Greek ... on the Septuagint and Patriarchal Text) Kindle Edition

Excellent translation with helpful additional materials. I like this better than the Orthodox Study Bible (which is just NKJV). I also have the Orthodox New Testament prepared by the Holy Apostles Convent/Dormition Skete, but have not used that one enough to comment.The EOB has a very good introduction, including a section on how it deals with matters pertaining to worship and Divine service, the Kingdom, Spirit, and other matters. It also provides brief introductions to the Gospels discussing authorship and dates, as well as themes. A similar introduction is provided for the Pauline Epistles, with a detailed comparison chart to Acts. A shorter introduction is provided for the other Epistles.The EOB's Appendices cover a variety of subjects, including the Filioque Controversy, distinctions between presbyters and bishops in Acts, Saint Matthew's discussion of the Church and the Apostles, the Orthodox understanding of the "brothers" of Christ in Saint Mark's Gospel, among other topics.The EOB has a nice layout with relatively few footnotes. The style is in block paragraphs with Dialogue as separate paragraphs, and Old Testament verses in italicized block quotes, making it easy to discern quoted Scripture.

I recently purchased the Eastern Orthodox Bible which is a modern English translation of the official Greek New Testament of the Orthodox Church. The English translation is simply superb and very clear. It strikes the right balance between clarity and elegance. The EOB is good for in-depth study as well as liturgical use. In fact both New Rome Press and Legacy Icons Press have published the EOB in Orthodox Altar Gospel Books. Legacy Icons Press has even published an Epistle Book (i.e. Apostolos) with the EOB text. The EOB Altar Gospel books have received the endorsement of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, the Antiochian Archdiocese and the Orthodox Church of America. So if you haven't picked up a copy of the EOB New Testament please do so AND pair it with the soon to be released Lexham English translation of the Septuagint coming out this November 2019 and The Modern English translation of the Septuagint available now on lulu.com. Also, pick up the full Greek Bible as used in the Orthodox Church and available here on Amazon. Finally, the Orthodox Bible in English, even if its in sections, and in Greek are available to all at the touch of a button.UPDATE: i just received my leather hardbound copy of the EOB New Testament from A&H Bindery in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. I posted a picture. Check it out. Its beautiful and awesome!

I feel like I just wasted my money on the kindle version. This review has nothing to do with the quality of the information or author. But, I want to use this book for devotion purposes, and I can’t search based on the chapter and verse. I can search for the text and it brings me to the very beginning. From there, it takes eons to scroll to the chapter and verse I want. This kindle version Does NOT have Page Flip enabled, so I also CANNOT zoom out to multiple pages and flip through the pages in a faster way. Please fix this!

I bought the Kindle edition. The Greek text (extensive in the front matter, back matter, and footnotes) is not rendered. I don't know if this is a Kindle problem or a problem with a poor conversion into the Kindle version. If you want to use the "extensive introductory and supplemental material", go with the printed version.

It's a great translation. On par with KJV maybe better.

Best New Testament I have ever used, with language that is clear in meaning and true to the original texts. This will not disappoint.

This is the best translation of the New Testament I have ever read. Since purchasing the pocket edition, I bought the perfected edition. It is greatly improved by putting the footnotes at the bottom of the page instead of at the end of the particular gospel and non-gospel portions of the NT. It also includes some introductory material which was missing from the earlier editions and Appendix G: Luke 3:36 -- The Second Cainan Controversy.

Nice addition to the library. Is great for study and the many notes help greatly.

treasure

Very good translation. The text has been well organized which, combined with a good size font, makes it for a comfortable read. The annexes at the end provide the reader with extremely valuable information.
