How did the New Testament writers and the earliest Christians come to adopt the Jewish
scriptures as their first Old Testament? And why are our modern Bibles related more
to the rabbinic Hebrew Bible than to the Greek Bible of the early Church? The Septuagint,
the name given to the translation of the Hebrew scriptures between the third century
BC and the second century AD, played a central role in the Bible's history. Many of
the Hebrew scriptures were still evolving when they were translated into Greek, and
these Greek translations, along with several new Greek writings, became Holy Scripture
in the early Church. Yet, gradually the Septuagint lost its place at the heart of
Western Christianity. At the end of the fourth century, one of antiquity's brightest
minds rejected the Septuagint in favor of the Bible of the rabbis. After Jerome, the
Septuagint never regained the position it once had. Timothy Michael Law recounts the
story of the Septuagint's origins, its relationship to the Hebrew Bible, and the adoption
and abandonment of the first Christian Old Testament. -- Publisher
