A layman’s thoughts on the Orthodox Study Bible « into the light The OSB is not meant as a replacement to the Liturgy, or the Lectionary, or the Fathers, or the Councils, or the Prayers, etc. (as some commentators seem to think it was intended). It is the entire Orthodox Bible, including the OT which is either translated from the Septuagint or at least modified where the Septuagine calls for it (the Septuagint being the Bible of Christ and the early Church). The Scofield study Bible was one of the first Bibles with notes and the interpretations went a long way to solidify dispensational theology in America as the prominent evangelical theology. kevinburt.wordpress.com /2008/04/09/a-laymans-thoughts-on-the-orthodox-study-bible   (0 words)

ORA ET LABORA: Orthodox Study Bible: My Turn, I To attain these goals, specific attention was given to the biblical interpretation of the fathers of the ancient and undivided Church, and to the consensus of the Seven Ecumenical or Church-wide Councils of Christendom, held from the fourth to eighth centuries. The prayer of the editors and contributors of The Orthodox Study Bible is that it presents an understandable Bible text and commentary to (1) English-speaking Orthodox Christians the world over and to (2) non-Orthodox readers interested in learning more about the faith of the historic Orthodox Church. My feeling is that many Orthodox people simply don't want to have to think for themselves (that is, to explore the mind of the Church in humility and prayer, seeking answers to questions about which the Fathers said little), but rather prefer a sort of cut-and-paste mentality. ishmaelite.blogspot.com /2008/03/orthodox-study-bible-my-turn-i.html   (0 words)

osb_review.htm Another example of an undiscerning transmittal by the Editors of the Orthodox Study Bible of the theories of higher criticism is this statement in the introduction to the Gospel of Saint Mark: "The Gospel of Mark may be dated shortly before the fall of Jerusalem ad 70. The Orthodox do not call them mystics, but the friends of God, the law-givers and theologians of the Church; for they have ascended the mountain and entered into the darkness of the knowledge of God; their utterances and teachings are given with authority. The Orthodox Study Bible, as is obvious from the few representative examples, is not patristic either in conception or content, in formulation or expression, in its commentaries or addenda; indeed, it is often not only unpatristic and untraditional, but antraditional, but anti-patristic and anti-traditional. www.thehtm.org /osb_review.htm   (11142 words)

Study Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A study Bible is an edition of the Bible prepared for the use of a serious student of the Bible. Perhaps the first edition of the Bible in English that qualified as a "study Bible" was the Geneva Bible; it contained extensive cross references, synopses, and doctrinal points. The Jerusalem Bible is a widely respected study Bible originally made by French monks in Jerusalem under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Study_Bible   (660 words)

Bible Study   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Each work in the Bible reflects the outlook of the age in which it was written and the particular viewpoint of the author. Orthodox christians neglect at our peril the results of independent scholarly research into the origin, dates, and authorship of the books of the Bible, although we shall always want to test these results in the light of Holy Tradition. When we enter an Orthodox Church decorated in the traditional way, and look up towards the sanctuary, we see there in the apse the figure of the Mother of God with her hands raised to the heaven--the ancient scriptural manner of praying that many still use today. www.stgeorgegreenville.org /topics/Bible_Study.html   (1297 words)

osb_review.htm The Editors of the Orthodox Study Bible have apparently accepted the validity of this scholarship, not recognizing that it is only of the First Degree of Knowledge and not discerning that it is motivated by atheism rather than enlightened reason. The Orthodox do not call them mystics, but the friends of God, the law-givers and theologians of the Church; for they have ascended the mountain and entered into the darkness of the knowledge of God; their utterances and teachings are given with authority. The Orthodox Study Bible, as is obvious from the few representative examples, is not patristic either in conception or content, in formulation or expression, in its commentaries or addenda; indeed, it is often not only unpatristic and untraditional, but antraditional, but anti-patristic and anti-traditional. htmadmin.phpwebhosting.com /osb_review.htm   (11142 words)

The Bible As an Orthodox Christian I have been given an opportunity to witness to an aunt of mine who is a Jehovahs Witness. I have "The Orthodox Study Bible" but have recently read online severe critiques of this bible with Orthodox priests warning not to use it because of some of the errors contained in it. This Bible claims to be faithful to the Orthodox interpretation of the New Testament with scores of teachings from the Holy Fathers. www.unicorne.org /Orthodoxy/automne2004/bible.htm   (791 words)

Orthodox Study Bible « into the light However, the more apoplectic comments about the concept of study bibles being not indigineously Orthodox, not liking the icons, not having a new NT translation, the flow of the translation, the cover, etc, are bordering on the ridiculous. While a work such as the OSB is an effort of many individuals and is not a reflection of any one particular individual, your contribution could be the necessary element which lends credibility to the work which you seem to find so lacking. This is the Orthodox Faith, not that presented in the notes of the OSB for the Geneology of St. Luke and no connection is made to explain this within the conext of the Fest of the Annunciation. kevinburt.wordpress.com /2008/03/30/orthodox-study-bible   (0 words)

Review of the Orthodox Study Bible Several translations of the psalms from the Orthodox Church's Septuagint version into English have appeared in the last 20 years, and it surely would have been possible for the publishers to have arranged to use one of these if they truly wanted to offer an Orthodox text of the Bible to their readers. Throughout the Study Bible there is a surprising emphasis on the concept of "justification," including a whole article devoted to this topic in Romans 5. Johanna Manley's "The Bible and the Holy Fathers" her "Grace for Grace: The Psalter and the Holy Fathers" (which has the added advantage of using the Orthodox Psalter as its basic text, rather than the Protestant one); and the ongoing translation of Blessed Theophylact's commentaries on the Gospels. www.orthodoxinfo.com /phronema/review_osb2.aspx   (0 words)

Last check: ) First, let me say that this "study bible" is quite evidently aimed at low-church, or evangelical, protestants or those who are converting to Orthodoxy from that background. The Orthodox Study Bible is uniquely illuminating because of the outstanding notes, articles, and appendixes that focus on scripture in its original Early Church understanding, and continuing Orthodox Christian practice.

Old Testament Bible Genealogy The Bible traces Eber to Shem, the son of Noah; from him were also the Assyrians and the Arameans. The speech of the Canaanites was nearest to that we know as Hebrew; yet the Bible groups these people, together with the Egyptians, among the descendants of Shem's brother Ham. Javan was the fourth son of Japheth (Gen. 10:2), whose descendants settled in Greece, i.e., Ionia, which bears the name of Javan in Hebrew. latter-rain.com /ot/gene.htm   (1100 words)

Last check: ) Peter Gillquist, OSB project manager, and most of the prominent members of the bible committee, and not one of them supported the sectarian attitude in the comments at the end of this bible. The sources of Orthodox tradition are discussed, as is the Orthodox spiritual life and the importance of a regular rule of prayer, scripture readings, and partaking of the sacramental and liturgical life of the Church. Also, to the reviewer who commented that a "study bible" is not an Orthodox phenomenon - one of the justifications of the icons at the seventh council was that they are a gospel to the illiterate. ourlyrics.net /ID_0718000307,turk   (1860 words)

Orthodox Christian Bible Studies Blog - The study will be used by Teen SOYO groups throughout the United States and Canada to prepare for the 2008 Bible Bowl; it will also be used by youth groups in other Orthodox jurisdictions. An individual using Be Transformed: An Interactive Study of the Epistle to the Romans wrote that she was having trouble opening some of the commentaries (specifically, the commentaries did not appear at all in her browser). Furthermore, even if these study Bibles were not too often simply culture-dictated fluff, they are often ineffective in their intended purpose: to repeat Mark Oppenheimer's claim from my thesis, non-Evangelical Protestants will find the Biblezines to be condescending and irrelevant. www.orthodoxyouth.org /blog/archives/cat_biblestudies.html   (0 words)

Jaspella Gospel Guide: Online Store I have found this Study Bible to be an interesting introduction to Eastern Orthodox Church theology and interpretation of Scriptures. I had previously aquired the New Testament Orthodox Study Bible from the same people, so it was interesting to see how they approached this new release. The OSB had such a long period between its NT release and the complete release, and during that time the Orthodox community offered many many corrections, accessible online by merely googling "Orthodox Study Bible." None of these helpful critiques were heeded. www.jaspella.com /store/jbible-12059-0718003594   (0 words)

Orthodox Study Bible - The Byzantine Forum Each of the 76 books of the bible starts with a description of the author (when known), date that the book was thought to have been written, major theme, background material for that book, and an outline of the actual text. Acknowledgments include the fact that THE ORTHODOX STUDY BIBLE was prepared under the auspices of the Academic Community of St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology, Elk Grove, California. Moore originally commented to Father Gillquist that since the Protestants had study bibles, and that the Catholics had their study bible, then it was about time for the Orthodox to write their own study bible. www.byzcath.org /forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/293776/Re_Orthodox_Study_Bible   (0 words)

ORA ET LABORA: Orthodox Study Bible, My Turn III That the translators/editors of the OSB made their notes without reference to each other's translations is supported by comments I have heard from Fr. In the end, of course, the OSB still falters on this point by failing to be internally consistent. What I refer to here is not the OSB commentary's understanding of the text, but rather what our reverend host has stated concerning the MT. Yes, it is beside the point, to be sure, but I make the counter point for the sake of accuracy. ishmaelite.blogspot.com /2008/04/orthodox-study-bible-my-turn-iii.html   (0 words)

Orthodox Study Bible Forum studybibleforum Various books of the Bible reflect the writer's personal characteristics in style and vocabulary, and their personalities are often expressed in their thoughts, opinions, prayers, or fears. The orthodox view of the Trinity attempts to balance the concepts of unity and distinctiveness, that is, that God is one as the Shema affirms in Deut. When we see that the Bible teaches these three things: (a) there is but one God, (b) that the Father, Son, and Spirit are each God, and (c) that each is set forth as distinct Persons, we have enunciated the doctrine of the Triunity of God. www.studybibleforum.com /spages/Orthodox.htm   (0 words)

Orthodox Study Bible - The Byzantine Forum Compared to Blessed Theophylact's bible commentaries the NT OSB commentaries are watered down, but at this point the OSB is better than nothing, especially since no one else seems to have done anything. It's important to note that a Study Bible is just that, a study Bible, not a multi-volume compendium of patristic commentary, but a help for studying the Scriptures in one volume - which also must include the text of Scripture. Maybe the church in its life has been two used to the idea and fact that the Bible is largely not in the hands of the laity, and that reflects much of the criticism leveled at the OSB. www.byzcath.org /forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=273488   (0 words)
