The Orthodox Study Bible is an incredible tool for several reasons. 1) It highlights the traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church that is largely overlooked in the Western World. 2) It gives us an NKJV that is in agreement with the Septuagint and the Deuterocanon of the Orthodox Church. 3) It gives us commentary from church fathers and from an orthodox perspective. 4) It has the lectionary, morning prayers, and evening prayers in the back (along with the communion preparation portion in the beginning.)
I’m not Orthodox, and I’m not going to agree with some of the Orthodox traditions. That aside, I think it is important that we look at church through the lens of its actual history in the eastern and western traditions. What I often find is there is a lot of agreement. Is the disagreement over important issues? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean I can’t learn and grow from studying. I think it’s important that we respect those that hold the centrality of Christ as the foundation of their faith, even when the traditions are unusual, unsettling, and even seemingly wrong to us.
