New testament and Psalms
The Orthodox Study Bible is the only resource Bible with study aids and articles written from an Orthodox Christian perspective — the New Testament and Psalms are interpreted from the doctrinal foundation of the Orthodox Church. For the first time, you can study the Scriptures with the guidance of respected scholars of the Orthodox faith working within a tradition of biblical interpretation which goes back to the apostles themselves.
Two introductory articles will help you become more familiar with Orthodox Christianity and assist with personal or group Bible study: "Introducing the Orthodox Church" marks the development from the birth of the Church to today's times, and "How to Read the Bible" by Bishop KALLISTOS (Timothy) Ware shows you how to receive personal insights from the messages of the New Testament. A total of twenty-seven special articles on key theological issues and central themes in the New Testament are interspersed throughout.
(continued from front flap)
The Orthodox Study Bible includes significant theological insights and comprehensive study aids not previously found in other study Bibles, including:
¦ annotations of extrabiblical sources on the lives of New Testament people in first-century Church history, such as Joseph of Arimathea, the Seventy, Clement, Philemon, and scores of others to provide clarifying background information
¦ an introduction for each book which gives information on the author, date, themes, historical context, and overall content
¦ patristic insights into the New Testament from ancient Christian books and commentaries
¦ clearly explained theological notes
¦ a glossary that defines difficult words in Scripture and in Orthodox writings
¦ an extensive concordance of verses
¦ eight full-color icons with biblical descriptions
¦ an annual Bible reading plan
The Orthodox Study Bible is the culmination of years of devoted preparation and faithful interpretation of God's Word which will make the Scriptures understandable to all readers.
