This is a top quality Bible in beautiful leather. Lovely prayers and outstanding artwork included. This is my favorite in my large collection of Bibles. I have given this Bible to others who enjoy it as much as I do.

I found this bible truly did prove to be a great study guide....I am very impressed with it and believe it is unquestionably one of, if not the most significant piece of work ever published for English speaking orthodox Christians for the knowledge contained in it.
With that being said I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the physical qualities of this bible produced by Thomas nelson publications. The "bonded leather" version (which is leather fibers bonded with some type of nauseous chemical adhesive) I say nauseous because I actually felt a little nauseous the first time I opened the box it was contained in, that smell sticks around for a good week by the way. Once I got past the stench and the slimmy, slippery, plastic feel of it's cover I opened it and found that the words are printed on the cheapest and most delicate paper I have ever come across, they are very thin and you can see through to the next page (some pages worst than others) which is very distracting and annoying when you are trying to read Gods word! I find i have to be extra careful turning the pages because they wrinkle so easily definitely not designed for long lasting durability....
Being unhappy with the physical qualities of the bonded leather version i decided to buy the hardcopy version (from another site) and found the same problem that plagued the bonded leather version which is cheap, super thin, flimsy, see through paper. I am now in the process of purchasing the only other alternative out there which is a genuine leather version I found at another site, I haven't received it yet but I am expecting it to be made from the same cheap, thin, see through paper as the other versions since it to is still produced by Thomas Nelson, but at least it should have a quality cover that won't stink (hopefully).
Thomas Nelson boast about there quality, but I have never bought a university textbook, regular book (fiction/nonfiction) or even magazine where I could see through to the next page! How can they justify printing a BIBLE of this significance out of such poor quality material? I don't know who to be more disappointed with Nelson pub. or St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology who put so much effort into creating such a useful, insightful and beneficial study bible only have it presented on the cheapest material available!
If either of these 2 groups happen to run across this review i'd just like to say that there are plenty people out there willing to spend a few more dollars to have a "QUALITY and DURABLE" copy of the orthodox study bible that should last a lifetime!... how can you justify using such cheap materials to produce something as important as this bible? its inexcusable.
I would still recomend this Bible for the knowledge contained in it, but I'm hoping that one day a good quality version of it will become available.......

This leather-bond copy is a great value! I purchased it to learn more about early Christianity in the East during the first one thousand years. It far exceeds that expectation! This is a tradition that I do not know very much about, even though I am a biblical scholar. I am learning so much! It is especially useful to make one aware of the important writers of early early Christianity. I am using it as a springboard to do further research into that area. It is also teaching me about the early doctrine of this branch of the Church.

I've been Orthodox Christian my whole life, but just recently started reading the Bible. I bought a KJV NIV (I will admit I ignorantly thought all Bibles were identical) about a month ago, and read through the first three books. It wasn't bad, however I felt I wasn't getting the depth of the messages. After doing some research, I came across the Orthodox Study Bible, and it's been perfect! I love it!

I've owned my own copy for several years and bought new copies for graduation gifts with student's names embossed on the covers. The Orthodox Study Bible speaks for itself, and the lettering was perfect, even with "difficult" Greek names, and the service and delivery were outstanding!

I bought this for my Ukrainian friends who are Orthodox, thinking that they would appreciate a study Bible based on their own background. They were so excited and appreciative to have a Bible based on the tradition they grew up with. It's beautifully and well-made, too. Nice size, and great packaging. Thanks to CBD for making it available!

I haven't really even scratched the surface with this Bible yet, but it's really worth the money if only for the beautiful icons. The notes are very interesting and I've learned a lot just flipping through it. I look forward to diving in and getting to know it better!

I had always HEARD that there were "issues" with the King James Version, not that the KJV has anything wrong with it, but there is so much more to it! This is a must have for your Library. The extra inserts are awesome! Get it!

I've heard that the study notes are a bit simplistic and have seen evidence of that already. I do believe however, that this is a great Intro to Orthodox Christianity Bible for Protestants.

I love this bible because it has the complete canon approved by the Orthodox Church. Also the little church father notes on the bottom help when understanding certain difficult verses in their original context. The prayers and lectionary at the back and the icons interspersed throughout are very useful as well. The only thing that disappointed me was that they took the translation from the NKJV rather than the RSV/NRSV. Overall this is a great bible especially recommended to those new to the Church/Christianity.

Purchased this study Bible as a gift for my adult son. I was happy with the product and hoped he would be as well. It was well received and he was very pleased with the quality but especially liked the study notes.
