English Orthodox Bible

A dedicated group of Orthodox monks (who wish to remain anonymous) have created a fresh English translation of the Masoretic Hebrew text of the Psalter, corrected to the Septuagint. A frequently asked question: The Psalms aren't in numerical order in this Psalter. Why is that? Answer: That was done intentionally. This edition of the Psalter was created for prayer, at home or in church, rather than for reference. It's not just another Book of Psalms.

In this classic book, John of Damascus laboured to form one complete, clear, and brief theological work that would summarize all Christian doctrine that had been passed down and agreed upon. The following was said of the book: The result was an inexhaustible storehouse of tradition in which nothing is to be found that has not been either approved by the ecumenical synods or by the established leaders of the Church.

Nearly ten years in the making, this liturgical translation of the Psalter is the result of a collaborative effort between translators, editors, scholars, church musicians, and the communities of St Vladimir's Seminary and St Tikhon's Monastery. The goal for this project was to find translational register that was both accurate to the original and, at the same time, felt familiar within the liturgical context in which it would be read and sung.

Confused by the overtly philosophical, wordy, and Biblically lacking treatises on the Trinity? Then this is for you. In The Image Of God by Samuel Garcia attempts to tackle one of the core doctrines of Christianity by paying attention to the ignored singular analogy of the Trinity in the Bible text itself: the trinity of man, and how it fits nicely with the traditional and current perception of the Trinity with little contradiction, yet confident in its assertion of the importance of rightly dividing the word of God and make solid statements about the Trinity that few dare make. The ...

Looking for a commentary and researched reference on the Book of Enoch? The Book of Enoch has had many translations that have been very academic in nature; often daunting and inaccessible to the modern reader. "Book of Enoch: The Ways of God, Angels and Men" has no pretensions to highbrow academic scholarship but seeks to be properly researched, helpful, and prove itself reliable to readers. Angels and Demons have occupied a special place the human imagination. They personify the continued struggle between two opposing forces: light and darkness, Heaven and Hell, good and evil. Roman ...

That first volume in the Patristic Commentary on the Book of Isaiah opens the door to one of the rich and prophetically profound texts of the Old Testament. This Introduction is rooted in the Coptic Orthodox tradition and draws from the early Church Fathers, offering a panoramic view of Isaiah's life, message, and enduring legacy. Far more than a historical overview, this volume presents Isaiah as both seer and evangelist—the prophet whose writing is called "The Fifth Evangelist" and whose words the early Church saw fulfilled in Christ's incarnation, passion, and resurrection. Inside, you...

In the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, when God decrees to destroy the cities, the Patriarch Abraham questions and argues with God on behalf of wicked people he doesn’t know, while in the story of the binding of Isaac, he is unquestioningly obedient and submissive when asked to offer as a sacrifice his beloved son who is innocent of any wrongdoing. The obvious question that arises is – how can the very same Abraham, who questions and argues with God on behalf of wicked people, be silent when asked to offer as a sacrifice his beloved son, innocent of wrongdoing? Abraham’s silence...

The strory of Ruth for kids with Coptic Icons illustrations. The book of Ruth: 1. The book was related to the Feast of Harvest (Feast of Pentecost) which was read on that feast. Probably because Ruth appeared to glean the sheaves after the reapers so she can eat and give her mother-in-law. It is the book of harvest: that is the entry of the gentiles to the faith in the person of Ruth, as a new harvest offering the grain of the true life and satisfaction to her mother-in-law. 2. It is the only book after the name of a gentile woman in the whole Bible. Ruth has superseded many women. The ...

Perhaps some may wonder why the divine inspiration used this courting style to express the mutual love between God and His Church. Through the divine inspiration, God speaks to us with the same style in a colloquial manner. Moreover, He also uses the same expressions we use, so that the inspiration is not foreign to us. This interpretation of the divine love as a spiritual marital love that binds the soul with God is not strange in the Bible, but has been used by both the prophets of the Old Testament as well as the Disciples of the New Testament. We shall see this when we discuss the “...
