The Acceptable Bible Versions
Glory to God This Sunday May 17, I went to my first Divine Liturgy it was absolutely beautiful and everyone was very kind I even had the opportunity to Kiss The Silver Icon of the Panagia. I look forward to coming again! I had gotten the motivation to purchase a new Bible for study and carrying it with me after visiting the divine liturgy. But I then wondered about translations. The main option by many would be the OSB since it uses the LXX for the Old Testament But it is a bit too large and id prefer it without notes.. So I took a look at the RSV bibles and Found one… “RSV-CE oxford Bible” it has a Black leather cover with a zipper and a Gold medal. I found it preferable seeing as it Has more books than the Protestant dominated Bibles and its easy to carry although it still lacks some books from the LXX. All in all what would you guys think? Its probably so that whatever bible i’d read is a good bible since the Orthodox Church Does not have an “official” translation but I Just wanna make sure it’d be fine by the majority of Orthodox Consensus. Sincerely appreciated, God Bless you!
