BOOK DESCRIPTION
For over two thousand years, the Greek Septuagint has shaped the reading, translation, and understanding of Scripture—from ancient Jewish communities to the writers of the New Testament, the early Church Fathers, and modern Bible translators. Yet for many Christians, its story remains unfamiliar.
 
In this comprehensive and accessible study, Edward D. Andrews guides readers through the origins, development, and significance of the Septuagint. You’ll explore its role in the ancient world, its use by Jesus and the apostles, its preservation in manuscripts and quotations, and its impact on theology and doctrine. Along the way, you’ll encounter vivid accounts of early translators, scribes, and scholars—Jewish and Christian—who shaped this remarkable work.
 
Whether you are a pastor, seminary student, serious Bible reader, or university scholar, this volume offers clear explanations, careful historical research, and practical insight into how the Septuagint illuminates both the Old and New Testaments. Richly illustrated and meticulously documented, The Greek Septuagint invites you to engage with one of the most important translations in the history of God’s Word—and to see why it still matters today.
