Synopsis

The projected Historical and Theological Lexicon of the Septuagint will offer historical studies of Septuagint words, retracing their usage from early authors, over koine Greek and the translation itself, into Jewish-Hellenistic and early Christian literature. The latter two of these phases were the object of a workshop held in 2011 whose proceedings are published in this volume. The reception of the Septuagint in Greek-speaking Judaism and Christianity raises many questions: How do Jewish or Christian authors writing in Greek handle the difference existing for some words between the "biblical" usage and the usual meaning in Greek? To what extent did New Testament authors borrow their religious terminology from the Septuagint? And which words of the Septuagint continue in later writings with their specific meaning? Contributors: James Aitken, Katell Berthelot, Eberhard Bons, Ralph Brucker, Jorg Frey, Jan Joosten, Thomas J. Kraus, Wolfgang Kraus, Christoph Kugelmeier, Enrico Norelli, Emanuela Prinzivalli

"This volume should be commended for broaching such an ambitious, interdisciplinary effort and with highly competent researchers. [...] Each study is a worthy contribution not to be missed by anyone interested in the historical and theological development of the Bible." --Randall X.
