EBOOK Translation and Survival:The Greek Bible of the Ancient Jewish Diaspora
Opis
The Greek Bible of the Ancient Jewish Diaspora
A radical new study of the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. This was an enterprise of seminal importance. Without it there would have been no Western Jewish disapora and no Christianity. Tessa Rajak places the production of the Septuagint in historical context, investigates its Jewish creators, and examines its role in the culture of Jews, Greeks and Christians during the centuries of its making.
