Hi, just wondering if anyone has the Apostolic Bible Polygot by Charles Van der pool? He has transcribed the Septuagint OT and Greek NT in one bible. As I am unsure which greek translation is best I would like to hear from some who know about these things. I look forward to your replies...thanks

the bible mentioned above (Greek LXX and NA28) is different to the one I mentioned by Charles Van der Pool. You can purchase his from around $50.00

I responded on the Polyglot here:

http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/vie ... =45&t=2723

It's not the same kind of resource. The Polyglot is an interlinear, and people who use interlinears generally don't do as well actually learning the language.

I take it you are looking for LXX / GNT in one volume, in a printed book? Daniel Streett mentions the Zoe Brotherhood edition, available for about $30:
If you don’t need the critical apparatus and you don’t mind reading the traditional texts, you might want to check out the Zoe Brotherhood‘s Greek Bible, which has LXX with apocrypha and NT in one volume–and it actually looks like a Bible. The font is readable, the pages are heavier weight, and all the book names/numbers are in Greek. Best of all, you can get it for about $30. If, that is, you can find it. I lucked out with my local Greek Orthodox church’s bookstore, so you could try them. Others have had luck with Holy Cross Bookstore in Massachusetts. If you’re real adventurous, you try the Varnavos Foundation, though shipping costs may kill you. Also, Christianorama seems to carry it.
