I, like you, hope that the ongoing discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the OSB can lead to increasingly better and more authoritative Bibles designed for Orthodox in the future. <BR/><BR/>I'm very glad you did write your review, because ideally I'd like to help people be able to evaluate the merits of the OSB themselves, and for this different voices and perspectives are needed.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!Felix Culpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062279686869827534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-45730903723358421202008-04-11T04:32:00.000+02:002008-04-11T04:32:00.000+02:00Dear Father,Thank you, too, for your affable tone....Dear Father,<BR/><BR/>Thank you, too, for your affable tone. As I expressed on my blog, I have deep admiration for many of those who have criticized the OSB (I suspect you detected yourself as one of those I read from frequently and admire deeply).<BR/><BR/>I hesitated to say anything at all, given my complete lack of any academic credentials and my only recent reception into the Church. I hope that what I said was not a novice's exercise in temerity. <BR/><BR/>What I truly hope will happen is that the OSB will start a conversation among Orthodox that will lead to the future printing of fine Bibles. In Protestantism, companies like Zondervan are printing increasingly artistic and attractively bound (partial)Bibles.<BR/><BR/>I long for the day when Bibles will be available for Orthodox with beautiful covers, archival quality paper, etc. Perhaps I'm asking for too much, or perhaps there already are such books. Or maybe I just need to stop talking/writing and pray more. That's what my good priest usually tells me!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words, and especially for your superb blog. Rarely a day goes by when I don't feel some bit of exhilaration at having such good resources to help me grow into Christ's image.<BR/><BR/>respectfully,<BR/>Thomas KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
