It does not appear to have a specific name. NewRome Press simply calls it the "Holy Bible Reader's Edition." It combines the Eastern Orthodox New Testament ("ecclesiastical version" - 12 minutes in the video for a better more complete explanation) and the Lexham English Septuagint (LES) Old Testament. The Greek "Septuagint" translation was made from old Hebrew scrolls, some of which were lost, and was the version used by early Christians (If I understand it correctly). Lots of maps too!  Most Exciting Bible Release This Year?? |

I don't care either way. I've read the book of Enoch. ETA And yes, I'm quite aware we are not in Communion with the Tewahedo Churches. |
