Authentic Coptic Bible

joeg · June 2008

With all of the very insightful recent threads on Coptic and Greek versions of the Bible (special thanks to Schoyen) could we clarfiy two things:

a) Where is it possible to get as accurate as possible translation in English of the complete Bible from Coptic (any dialects, not necessarily online, publishing year and details)?

b) Where is it possible to get hold of as close as possible translation in English of the complete Bible in Greek? (is the Septuagint the closest possible translation canonically?)

thanks

pray for me

I'm not sure if you are aware, but the Orthodox Study Bible came out a few months ago, and it has the complete, original canon of the Holy Scriptures of the Early Church, along with commentary from the Church Fathers. The Old Testament is translated from the LXX into English--it's the St. Athanatius Academic Society translation. This is extremely faithful to the Greek LXX accepted by the Church, and contains all the proper books in the proper, original order. You can order it at www.conciliarpress.com, or at www.christianbook.com. The latter is cheaper, but may take a week longer to get. I hope this helps--let me know: [email][email protected][/email].
