The Orthodox Bible project can be found at www.lxx.org.  It's supposed
to be released in 2005 (I think).

And I think you're right: the NKJV could be tweaked to fix the language
and phrasing (the latter something the ESV did a very good job of in the
Pauline corpus), and if an Apocrypha was added as an option, it might
have a bit more appeal (especially to those who use it in the daily
offices).  Who knows: call it the Revised Authorized Version and it
might catch on.

My partner here at work as an Orthodox Study Bible (he was raised
Serbian Orthodox).  The notes aren't bad, but nothing spectacular.
Really not too much different from what you'd get by simply reading an
Orthodox catechism.  Concilliar Press is the place to look.

This OAV (Orthodox Authorized Version?) sounds promising. I also think
the NKJV could simply be revised by its current publisher (NELSON), it
already has been a few times, although most people aren't aware of these
minor changes.

Another "wish list" item is for large-print pew editions of these
translations. I have talked to Nelson, but nothing is planned.

By the way, I remember that there was an Orthodox Study Bible (NT) that
was published some years ago. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth getting?
