The Septuagint, the first translation -- or as Fernandez Marcos points out, a "collection of translations"-- of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek figures prominently in both the history of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. In this second, revised edition of the successful Spanish translation, Natalio Fernandez Marcos introduces readers to the origin of the Septuagint in its earliest versions (Aquila, Theodotian, and Symmachus) and traces the fundamental issues associated with Septuagint studies. This volume will certainly stand alongside classics in the field such as H. B. Swete's Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek (1914), and to S. Jellicoe's The Septuagint in Modern Study (1968). A well-rounded study, The Septuagint in Context affords readers insight into a variety of questions associated with the Septuagint, such as: What's the relationship among the variety of versions? What was the Septuagint's role in the religion of Hellenistic Judaism? What is the connection between the Septuagint and the New Testament? What is Lucian's recension? What can the Septuagint tell us about the authority of sacred texts for those who used it? What import does the Septuagint have for text critical studies? For anyone trying to stay in touch with the inner worlds of Hellenistic Judaism and the New Testament, Septuagint in Context affords an indispensable connection.
