Eastern / Greek Orthodox New Testament - Portable Edition

This is a handy sized New Testament that comes with a zipper (which I removed because I don't need it). I instantly fell in love with this book because of its compact size and the quality of materials used.The paper is thin but very strong and feels expensive. The print is sharp and consistent and there are red highlights and titles of books. There is beautiful art work related to scripture. I am not sure this is real leather but it does feel nice in your hand.Due to its size you can take it with you anywhere. I am also more likely to pick it up and read from it because it feels so light but the words inside are pure gold that can save your soul.My only suggestion to Newrome Press is to put out a version without the zipper because it's just in the way of comfortable reading. Also if possible to release a limited edition with real goatskin, something like the Pitt Minion from Cambridge. Also please if possible do the Septuagint in the same format with beautiful art work and red highlights. I can't stress enough how readable and awesome this edition of the New Testament is. To have a Septuagint in the same size would be a dream.

I don’t usually leave reviews because I’m lazy, but this little New Testament is worth the effort. It’s a truly beautiful book, well made, fantastic paper, and gorgeous artwork. Do some research on it and you will see just how much love, care, and time went into it. I don’t usually read translations from the Patriarchal Texts but, I’m really enjoying how they rendered this translation. It’s easy to read and still feels like it has depth and weight. I also really enjoy the notes. They are insightful and useful for gaining a better understanding of the Greek text. The binding is a beautiful leather with beautiful inside art pages. It’s a sewn binding and has two thin but sturdy ribbons. It was shipped super fast and arrived very promptly. I would definitely recommend NewRome Press. Check out their website. They sell beautiful products.

The Old Testament that Jesus and His disciples read and quoted. The Septuagint was a Greek translation of Hebrew scripture some 2,300 years old. In a Hellenistic (Greek) world, Greek was the language spoken everywhere, even later during the Roman Empire. The Masoretic text didn’t come for another 1,200 years later. Great English translation.

Posting this review not so much as a review but to point out a typo on Matthew 6:12, or page 9 of this New Testament, where it reads, at the top of the page "our those who trespass against us." The "our" should not be there.It's trivial, I admit, but wish the publisher to be aware so they can correct.Will post more typos if/when I find them.

My copy unfortunately came damaged, but Amazon is sending me a replacement.Other than the damage the bible itself is well WOW!The images, binding, cover and text are all amazing!Honestly how is this so inexpensive?1000% my favorite bible out of 50 bibles I own.

I am not an Orthodox Christian, but I love carrying a New Testament for daily reading and in my ministry. My church regularly uses the World English Bible, which was one of the sources in producing the EOB. It is a wonderful edition. Very portable, beautifully printed, and has wonderful iconography.

I should have taken pictures before I sent it back. It's hard to rate with such little experience, especially since my main criticism is that it's too small. Too small for what? It's definitely portable, and there will always be a trade off between portability and usability. Personally, I would have preferred a bigger font at the expense of a bit more size. It is probably great for someone who travels a lot, but it's a really too small for home use in my opinion.

I love this translation and had the full sized, hard bound edition already. Wanted something portable. This was perfect. Not only small, but a really lovely edition, with several interesting full-color maps in the back, along with black and white icons.
