How Augustine defended the Septuagint to the point that he criticized Jerome for using Hebrew when translating the Vulgate. The differences between the Vulgate, Septuagint, and Masoretic readings. I have to admit that all of this can be a bit confusing. I also see that the Septuagint was with the Vatacanus and Sinaiticus manuscripts, and since they were, why don't modern scholars use them instead? These are just a few reasons. Thanks for your time though.Phil Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752045605704569789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-71960599358927590512013-03-28T23:24:56.201-04:002013-03-28T23:24:56.201-04:00Hi Phil,

I'm curious as to what issues with the LXX hold your interest: its use by the NT authors; its influence in the modern critical reconstruction of the Hebrew Bible (and, thus, on modern translations that follow the modern text); or something else?<br /><br />JTRJeffrey T.

I am currently reading the Greek Orthodox Church's newest version of it, and have found it interesting. I have also been reading pro and con literature on it, and can't seem to sift through what is fact and what is fiction. If you ever get the time, I would like to know your thoughts.Phil Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752045605704569789noreply@blogger.com
