Complete Orthodox Study Bible Available February 2008
Just got word from Conciliar Press that the complete Orthodox Study Bible, including both the Old (Septuagint) & New Testament will be available February 2008. I have long been a fan of the New Testament version and I am looking forward to what I am sure will be a valuable resource.
