The '''''Orthodox Study Bible''''' is a translation and annotation of the [[Bible]] currently in production by [[clergy]] and [[laity]] within the Orthodox Church. The text of the [[New Testament]] and [[Psalms]] translation is currently the [[w:New King James Version|New King James Version]] accompanied by Orthodox viewpoint commentary. The [[Old Testament]] in the new edition, was translated from the [[Septuagint]]{{ref|1}} using the New King James Version as the template, and is accompanied by Orthodox viewpoint commentary.
==Contents==
The translation is put in the traditional Septuagint order with the last book of the Old Testament being Daniel in the translation instead of Malachi. This is due to most Bibles being based on the Hebrew Masoretic translation.
Throughout the translation various aspects of the Orthodox faith are shown to the reader such as morning and evening prayers, icons (12 icons included under heading “Illustrations”), lectionary, history of the Orthodox Church and general Christian history. The OSB is for those who are unfamiliar to the faith and is used as an aid in worship tho those who are members of this ancient faith.
