Orthodox New Testament -- Holy Apostles / Dormition Skete

[arjuna3110]

Hi All !

I have read about the Orthodox New Testament, a translation into English by the the Holy Apostles Convent and Dormition Skete (in Colorado, USA) and replete with Oerthodox commentary from the Fathers.

I'm thinking of buying it, in the two volume edition which has the commentary.  However, it is not cheap.  Hence, I have two questions.


1)  If you have actually used the Orthodox New Testament, is it and its commentarties really as good as everyone says? 

2)  Is it possible to find a collection / concordance of Orthodox patristic commentary on scripture elsewhere ?

Thanks for any responses.

On 1: Yes. Extremelly helpfull!
As far as text and commentaries are concerned: Open the books and say bye bye to the Earth benith you, for little Dorothy is going for a joyride.
It is an amazing set of Biblical notes, as far as compact commentary is concerned.

On 2: I have no idea.

Thanks for bringing this up.  I just purchased mine (long overdue).  Looking forward to getting it.
