About this book

Until now there has been no comprehensive, yet "user-friendly" introduction to the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament). Most scholarly works presuppose a knowledge of Hebrew and Greek as well as a familiarity with Septuagint studies. Karen Jobes and Moisés Silva, however, have written a primer that will be useful to students who are just beginning to study the Septuagint as well as to seasoned scholars.

The authors explore themes such as the history of the Septuagint, the various versions available, its importance for biblical studies, and the current state of research. Their work moves from basic to more advanced issues and provides a practical and valuable introduction that will be warmly welcomed by those looking for a guide to the Septuagint, including both scholars and students.
