The New Orthodox Study Bible

Oooh! I\'m still waiting! Did they improve the NT notes?

I don\'t know, for sure. I was at Agia Sophia coffee shop talking about it with Fr. Anthony. I think they did. Dave

Yeah, I heard that they did too. I was hoping and praying that it wasn\'t some wild rumour. Quick way to tell, look up the notes for Rev 8:11 and see if it still equates the word \"wormwood\" with the slavonic \"Chernobyl\". If it does, they haven\'t changed it, or at least haven\'t changed it enough. In case it isn\'t obvious, the word \"Chernobyl\" does NOT mean wormwood. It is linguistically similar, but it\'s just not true.

Just order from Amazon (about $33)...some parish bookstores have them much less expensive as well.

Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter. - Revelation 8:10-11 The notes on 8:10, 11 Reminiscent of the first Eqyptian plague, this judgement affects fresh waters. Wormwood, an extremely bitter plant that would make the water undrinkable, symbolizes the bitter fruits of idolatry and sorrow to those who pursue adulterous liasons with the heathen Gentiles. (see Jer 9:12-16, 23:15) So they did change it. Dave

Yay! Wow, thanks for your diligence Armyman! I appreciate you posting it.

When, oh when, will they publish a large print edition? None of us is getting any younger...

I\'m kicking myself. I was at a lecture that Met. Kallistos gave in the Detroit area last month and they were selling books at the reception afterwards. They had the new Orthodox Study Bible. I should have bought it then and had the Metropolitan sign it. He did sign a copy of \"The Inner Kingdom\" that I\'d purchased. P.S. - the lecture was AMAZING!
