Reader Reviews:

A most insightful read (9/11 people found this helpful)

The Septuagint is one of the most influential books known to human history and there are very few other texts that have effected human society, particularly in Europe so dramatically. The original translations carried out in Alexandria from the time of the third century BC became the foundation for the Old Testament of the Greek Orthodox Church and contains all the books that would later be found in the Protestant King James bible and the Roman Catholic Scriptures with a couple of extra additions neglected by the Western Churches. To read this translation is a must for every one who has an interest in Christianity and the way it has effected European life. We see in the texts how the idea of divinely appointed rulers came to dominate politics across Europe right up until only a couple of centuries ago. There are many other examples of the Septuagint has effected Western Europe and this book must be read for an understanding of how European institutions developed into the political structures we see today such as the Church of England and the Bishop of Rome. The translation is eloquent and manages to retain some of the original beauty of the Greek version without losing too much meaning. For any aspiring student of Christianity, this is possibly the most insightful and profoundly effecting version of the bible available today.

It is a valuable resource to scholars. (4/7 people found this helpful)

An excellent reference for biblical and patristical scholars. This work will prove to be a useful source for reveiwing new testament parallels.

This is the Septuagint with its Aprocrypha(by the way,it differs slightly from the Latin vulgate apocrypha in that it has 3 and 4 Maccabees which the vulgate doesn't have and that it doesn't have 2 Esdras(which is called 4 Esdras in the Latin Vulgate)).On each page it contains the original Greek text on one side with the English translation on the other. This is a hard book to find.
