Publisher Description
Reaching back hundreds of years, this volume is the first major English edition to include all the prayers needed to read the Slavic Psalter at home in the Orthodox tradition. The contents include many texts traditionally printed in Orthodox Psalters and not easily found in English. With psalms and biblical canticles adapted from the classic Coverdale translation of the Book of Psalms and the King James Version of the Bible, this record has been carefully edited to agree with the original Greek of the Septuagint as well as with the Latin and Slavonic church translations.
Customer Reviews
IBooks edition is missing a chapter
The printed version of this book has been receiving favorable reviews and has become something of a best-seller in Eastern Orthodox circles, so it's great to finally have it available in electronic format. However, for some reason, this iBooks edition is missing the chapter, "St. Basil the Great on the Psalms," found in the printed edition and the other electronic version, such as ePub and Barnes & Noble.
