How is this edition different from the earlier "Rainbow" set?

The reformatted Volume One now includes Father Thomas’s original content on church doctrine and Scripture, and treats them as a unified body of knowledge,” said Michael Soroka, associate editor at SVS Press. “In the original series, the scriptural content appeared in Volume Three and was combined with content on church history,” he explained. “But, because we significantly expanded our church history content, and because Father Thomas himself always insisted upon the unity of doctrine and Scripture, we reorganized the series in this manner.

Dr. David C. Ford, professor of Church History at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, authored the new material in Volume Three, now simply titled, Church History. Designing it as an introductory textbook on a high school reading level, suitable for a parish class, he devotes each chapter to one century of church history and thus provides concise, essential bases for understanding the broad contours of Orthodox Christian history.
