What think ye of this publication? Is it worth an Arminian getting a copy of it?

The paper quality sucks, and the binding isn't good. Compared to the NEW Testament and Psalms one that came out back in 1993. I would say that as far a quality and style goes...no, it's not as good. But as far as content goes. yeah it's decent. It won't have a deep exegesis of Romans 9 or anything, but from Genesis to Revelatons you will see an Arminian persepctive in regards to free will, Predestination, Foreknowledge, Love......ect.

But it's not heavy in those areas.

The main goal of this study Bible was to be Christocentric, and uhm. I forgot the other 3 things they were focused on. But the commentary is supposed to express the Patristic view of the first 1,000 years.


But then again, I got the hardback copy. The Leather back might be different.

Wait, I wrote a review about it.

This next link is from David Bercot's website. I usually don't post anything from him or his website, because his ministry kepted me away from Orthodoxy for 8 or 9 years. But I was surprized to see that he was selling our Bible.

I use to follow the man(David Bercot) back in 1997 to about 2003. He changed many times over the years, and alot of his former followers left him. Some went to Rome, while others like myself went to Orthodoxy. But there are alot of others that are cought in limbo. They don't have anywhere to go, and they don't know what to do.

But Bercot seems to like it. I like it, although I think the paper quality could've been better.

But it's good enoug for now. I'm sorry for rambling.




This is the other site for the OSB
