Eastern / Greek Orthodox New Testament — Portable Edition in Burgundy Leatherette with Zipper

The Eastern / Greek Orthodox New Testament (EOB) is an English translation of the New Testament made from the Patriarchal Greek text, the official edition of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople read in Greek Orthodox churches. This portable edition is designed to go everywhere with you.

An Orthodox translation

The text was prepared under the direction of Fr Laurent Cleenewerck, Orthodox priest and theologian. The translation aims to stay close to the Greek and to the reading of the Church Fathers, with some notes to shed light on key passages. The four Gospels, Acts, the Epistles and Revelation are set in two columns, in a beautiful layout.

A fine edition to carry

The cover is burgundy leatherette with an embossed cross and a zipper that protects the pages in a bag or backpack. Thin Bible paper, rounded corners, decorated page edges and two ribbon markers in red and yellow make it pleasant for daily use. Inside are black-and-white icon engravings (such as the Crucifixion at the start of John's Gospel) and colour maps of the Roman world.

In Greek the New Testament is called Καινὴ Διαθήκη, in Slavonic Новый Завет. A fine gift for a baptism, a feast or a pilgrimage.
