Is it worth the money?
Thinking about reading the old testament (already read the new one 10 years ago).
I want to understand orthodoxy better, especially the metaphysic. Already read a lot on early church history, Arianism, the many councils and so on.

So is it worth the time (and money)?

it is a powerful book, Worthy as it is

You can't understand Orthodoxy without being an Eastern European peasant, unfortunately.

it's a nkjv translation which is kind of meh(all in youwho for instance) and the notes aren't that great; often just paraphrases. you're better off reading "the orthodox church", "the orthodox way" or "orthodoxy and heterodoxy".

Orthodoxy discourages self study

If you need a Bible, then yes. If you need to learn about the faith, then go to church
