Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek: A Commentary on the History and Contents of the Alexandrian Old Testament; its Literary Use and Influence on Scholars and Translators of the Bible

Bag om Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek: A Commentary on the History and Contents of the Alexandrian Old Testament; its Literary Use and Influence on Scholars and Translators of the Bible

This Bible commentary concerns the Greek versions of the Old Testament, its literary and scholarly qualities, and use as a source for later, English translations of the Biblical text. A study rich in profundity and the author's decisive scholarship, we find within this book a thorough, chapter-by-chapter comparison of the earliest versions of the Bible in Greek. The order and composition of the verses were arranged with the vocabulary differences placed into charts, that the reader may understand all with clarity. Much of Swete's thesis is concerned with the differences between the Alexandrian Old Testament and the Septuagint (commonly referred to as the LXX) - the earliest known iteration of the Bible in Greek. These two versions of the Old Testament differ in certain ways, and it is these divergences which allow for Swete's most detailed commentary.
