The Oxford Annotated Bible has the Apocrypha. The Apocrypha, as one Monastic Elder explains...contains 'Divine nectar' which many of the Fathers have written commentaries on. From the Apocrypha even the Latin Rite has drawn much wisdom from. For example: "It is a good and holy thing to pray for the dead" (2 Machabees 12, Verse 46)---this was the Epistle for all Masses of the Dead before the Vatican Council II. Much wisdom and much sweetness is contained within these holy books!
In His Holy Name,
+Fr. Gregory
