The First Bible of the Church. A Plea for the Septuagint
Copenhagen International Seminar 1. Sheffield Academie Press, 1996. In-8, hardcover, dustjacket, 163pp, first edition.
Publisher notice: The First Bible of the Church describes of the shape of the Jewish Bible at the time of the New Testament, with a special focus on the significance of the Greek translation, the Septuagint. The Jewish defence of the Septuagint version and its reception into the early Church makes it a representative of the Jewish Bible tradition fully on a par with the Hebrew Bible. This fact is especially important because the Septuagint is extensively used in the New Testament writings, whereby it - and not the Hebrew Bible (the Masoretic text)-is the most obvious candidate for the title of the first Bible of the Church. Very fine copy. - Frais de port : -France 5,7 € -U.E. 8 € -Monde (z B : 12 €) (z C : 22 €)
