A review of Newrome Press's Eastern / Greek Orthodox New Testament -- Portable Edition. This New Testament features a 7 to 7.5 point font formatted into two text columns, arranged in paragraphs. Chapter number, headings, and verse numbers are in red ink, as are book titles. Text and translation notes appear at the bottom of the page in a (roughly) 6 point font. The volume is thin and lightweight, easily carried in a purse, backpack, or briefcase. The translation seems relatively literal and is based on the Patriarchal Text of 1904. The cover is "manufactured" leather, and has a zippered closure.
