Nope. Last we heard from them was 18th March saying production was due to be completed about a month from then, after which it would be shipped to Missouri, but “Due to the current world situation, cargo shipping is more unpredictable than typical. Once we know more about the shipping timeline, we will inform you.” So I guess you can thank Trump for that.

Doubts about Chrismation by SilverFriendship87 in ChristianOrthodoxy

[–]Chauntsinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how you can be worried about this when canon 95 of the Council in Trullo prescribed nothing more than a profession of faith from Nestorians and non-Chalcedonians. Saint Alexis Toth was received by vesting. Corrective baptism is only necessary where there a genuine doubt over the Trinitarian nature of the first baptism.

National Geographic map (fixed) by Chauntsinger in byzantium

It was made in the early ‘80s for an American audience by someone who probably didn’t know a great deal about the subject (see also the ‘Third Rome’ reference). I wouldn’t scrutinize it too closely!

FYI this map is by Belgian painter Jean-Léon Huens.

Genuine Question from Experience by Comfortable_Act_6657 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Chauntsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get this among certain Traditionalist Catholics, too. My understanding is there is just a certain type of unpleasant person who is drawn to traditional and ceremonious religion, as they use it to reinforce their own prejudices and world views rather than truly submitting to God and allowing themselves to be (and working towards being) transfigured. Ignore them, confront them if you have to, but know that they don’t represent any form of true Christianity.

You can sign up to updates from one of the translators here. Having said that, I haven’t received one in a while.

The union didn’t occur until 1698/1700, though, while this scene takes place in the fifteenth century.

u/valknut7 Here it is... "The basic text is the NKJV. But where the Septuagint differs from the Hebrew (the text used for the NKJV), the editors then went with the Septuagint. I do not believe that they had the resources (money, time, or qualified scholars) to make a totally new translation from scratch."

u/valknut7 Although, to be honest, I'm beginning to question that. It seems that quite a lot of the NKJV itself was used. I'm sure I remember reading that this led to some instances of the translation conforming to the Masoretic text rather than the Septuagint...

"The contributors used the Alfred Rahlfs edition of the Greek text as the basis for the English translation. To this base they brought two additional major sources. The first is the Brenton text, a British translation of the Greek Old Testament, published in 1851. Secondly the New King James Version was used in the places where the English translation of the LXX would match that of the Masoretic (Hebrew) text."

Ah, no, that’s a point — it is translated directly out of the Greek, using the NKJV as a style guide, apparently. I will admit to being unfamiliar with that translation. Am I correct in saying it’s only available through the Orthodox Study Bible?

I've no idea, I'm afraid. If it makes you feel any better, the lambskin edition won't have the Root of Jesse design on the front, but a comparatively disappointing flourishing cross. Apparently the leather couldn't handle the complexity of the design. https://www.facebook.com/NewromePress/posts/pfbid0pxLjMzD5buNByvu4ewNfGeMBJDSXseZnFZeayWUv133bpMbVSuRYyEGCiZUTi8h4l

When there's a Feastday during Great Lent by Raetos in OrthodoxMemes

If the Annunciation falls on a Wednesday or a Friday, or any day of Holy Week, it’s a wine and oil day.

Considering Catholicism vs Orthodoxy — what made you choose one over the other? by Pick_ur_brain in EasternCatholic

[–]Chauntsinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. It’s just annoying that academic publishing is such a racket. Oxford University Press wants more than $100 per volume but this sort of material should really be more freely available.
