Book Synopsis The Translation of the Seventy by : Edmon L. Gallagher
Download or read book The Translation of the Seventy written by Edmon L. Gallagher and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the story goes, a few centuries before the birth of Jesus, seventy Jewish sages produced a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures at the request of an Egyptian king. While some Jews believed this translation was itself inspired Scripture, even more significantly, the authors of what would later be called the New Testament relied on this translation as they quoted Scripture. Then in the centuries that followed, many Christians argued that God had provided the Septuagint as the church's Old Testament. But what about all the differences between the Septuagint and the Hebrew Bible? And what about the extra books of the Septuagint-the so-called Apocrypha or deuterocanonical literature? Written with students in mind, Translation of the Seventy explores each of these issues, with a particular focus on the role of the Septuagint in early Christianity. This fresh analysis of the New Testament's use of the Septuagint and the complex reception of this translation in the first four centuries of Christian history will lead scholars, students, and general readers to a renewed appreciation for this first biblical translation.

Book Synopsis A New English Translation of the Septuagint by : Albert Pietersma
Download or read book A New English Translation of the Septuagint written by Albert Pietersma and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-02 with total page 1050 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of Jewish sacred writings) is of great importance in the history of both Judaism and Christianity. The first translation of the books of the Hebrew Bible (plus additions) into the common language of the ancient Mediterranean world made the Jewish scriptures accessible to many outside Judaism. Not only did the Septuagint become Holy Writ to Greek speaking Jews but it was also the Bible of the early Christian communities: the scripture they cited and the textual foundation of the early Christian movement. Translated from Hebrew (and Aramaic) originals in the two centuries before Jesus, the Septuagint provides important information about the history of the text of the Bible. For centuries, scholars have looked to the Septuagint for information about the nature of the text and of how passages and specific words were understood. For students of the Bible, the New Testament in particular, the study of the Septuagint's influence is a vital part of the history of interpretation. But until now, the Septuagint has not been available to English readers in a modern and accurate translation. The New English Translation of the Septuagint fills this gap.

Book Synopsis The Legend of the Septuagint by : Abraham Wasserstein
Download or read book The Legend of the Septuagint written by Abraham Wasserstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Septuagint is the most influential of the Greek versions of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. The exact circumstances of its creation are uncertain, but different versions of a legend about the miraculous nature of the translation have existed since antiquity. Beginning in the Letter of Aristeas, the legend describes how Ptolemy Philadelphus commissioned seventy-two Jewish scribes to translate the sacred Hebrew scriptures for his famous library in Alexandria. Subsequent variations on the story recount how the scribes, working independently, produced word-for-word, identical Greek versions. In the course of the following centuries, to our own time, the story has been adapted and changed by Jews, Christians, Muslims and pagans for many different reasons: to tell a story, to explain historical events and to lend authority to the Greek text for the institutions that used it. This book offers the first account of all of these versions over the last two millennia, providing a history of the uses and abuses of the legend in various cultures around the Mediterranean.
Book Synopsis Septuagint Vocabulary by : Jan Joosten
Download or read book Septuagint Vocabulary written by Jan Joosten and published by Brill Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses problems related to the vocabulary of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. The background of the words in Greek literature, their use in the translation, and their later reception in Jewish and Christian writings, including the New Testament, are studied on the basis of concrete examples. The discussion shows how religion and theology can affect the meaning and usage of words and how, conversely, the use of specific words can have an impact on the understanding and interpretation of Scripture.

Book Synopsis Reading the Sealed Book by : J. Ross Wagner
Download or read book Reading the Sealed Book written by J. Ross Wagner and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2013 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A translated text is laced with interpretive assumptions. By focusing on the Septuagint, J. Ross Wagner highlights the creative theology hidden in translation. His model couples patient investigation of the act of translation with careful attention to the translated texts' rhetorical features. Wagner focuses upon Isaiah's opening vision, clarifying its language, elucidating its character, and contextualizing its message. Reading the Sealed Book demonstrates how such translations serve as distinctive contributions to theology and reveal the contours of Jewish identity in the Hellenistic diaspora.

Book excerpt: Die vielfältigen Aspekte der Sprache der Septugainta The language of the Septuagint is a complex field of research at the crossroads of Classics and Biblical studies. It is also a field in motion with a steady supply of new data - papyri, inscriptions - and a constant renewal of approaches. It may appear daunting to non-specialists, yet linguistic analysis is vital for textual interpretation of the Greek Bible. In the present volume 36 experts introduce various aspects of linguistic research on the Septuagint in a way that it is at once accessible and representative of the state of the art. Die Sprache der Septuaginta ist ein komplexes Forschungsgebiet am Schnittpunkt von Klassischer Philologie und Bibelwissenschaft. Bedingt durch das stetig wachsende Material - vor allem Papyri und Inschriften - und die Einführung neuer Methoden hat sich dieses Forschungsgebiet in den letzten Jahren ständig weiterentwickelt. Wenn es auch auf den ersten Blick selbstverständlich erscheinen mag: Die sprachliche Analyse ist für die Interpretation des Textes der griechischen Bibel unerlässlich. Die insgesamt 36 Beiträge führen ein in unterschiedliche Aspekte der sprachlichen Erforschung der Septuaginta. Dabei fassen sie den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zusammen und sind auch für Nicht-Fachleute verständlich.

Book Synopsis The Septuagint and Its Reception by : Martin Meiser
Download or read book The Septuagint and Its Reception written by Martin Meiser and published by . This book was released on 2022-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Septuagint is an important source for the study of ancient Judaism and, in terms of textual development and theology, is to be embedded in the literature of the last three centuries BCE. At the same time, the Septuagint often is the authoritative reference text of ancient Christian reception of the so-called Old Testament. The essays collected in this volume deal in their first part with the interpretation of the Septuagint, primarily the historical and the prophetic books. Questions of textual criticism and theology are addressed in the two sections on the New Testament (Gospel of Mark, Acts, and Paul) and Patristics (Justin and Jerome, for example). The final section is devoted to the patristic interpretation of Old Testament texts (Gen 2-3; Gen 28:10-22; Jer 10:1-16; Psalms), themes (notion of God; pseudo-prophecy), and figures (Adam, Abraham, Hannah).
