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.
