Synopsis

Does the Septuagint have authority for the church today?

Numerous scholars have explored what the Septuagint is and its history and uses, but less scholarship has engaged with the ways it exercises authority within the Christian tradition. In the first multicontributor volume of its kind, biblical scholars Greg Lanier and Will Ross bring together experts from a variety of disciplines to explore the nature of the Septuagint's authority over the ages.

Discover fresh insights from experts across disciplines--including Old Testament, New Testament, patristics, systematic theology, historical theology, and more--into whether and how the Septuagint holds authority for today's church. With clarity and depth, this helpful addition to Septuagint studies will expand the conversation of how Christians should understand the Septuagint both in the academy and in the church.

This book seeks:

• To explore the "authority" question from multiple perspectives.
• To examine how the early church, Reformers, and systematic (Protestant and Catholic) theologians view the Septuagint.
• To disentangle the NT's frequent use of the Septuagint from its perceived status as authoritative or "canonical".

Whether you're a scholar, theologian, pastor, or seminary student, The Authority of the Septuagint is an invitation to engage with the Septuagint, its history, and its significance for the church today.
