Most readers do not know about the Bible used almost universally by
early Christians, or about how that Bible was birthed, how it grew
to prominence, and how it differs from the one used as the basis
for most modern translations. Although it was one of the most
important events in the history of our civilization, the
translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek in the third
century BCE is an event almost unknown outside of academia. Timothy
Michael Law offers the first book to make this topic accessible to
a wider audience. Retrospectively, we can hardly imagine the
history of Christian thought, and the history of Christianity
itself, without the Old Testament. When the Emperor Constantine
adopted the Christian faith, his fusion of the Church and the State
ensured that the Christian worldview (which by this time had
absorbed Jewish ideals that had come to them through the Greek
translation) would leave an imprint on subsequent history. This
book narrates in a fresh and exciting way the story of the
Septuagint, the Greek Scriptures of the ancient Jewish Diaspora
that became the first Christian Old Testament.
