  • The Septuagint As Christian Scripture: Its Prehistory and the Problem of Its
    OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES Edited by David J. Reimer OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES The mid-twentieth century was a period of great confidence in the study of the Hebrew Bible: many historical and literary questions appeared to be settled, and a constructive theological programme was well underway. Now, at the turn of the century, the picture is very different. Conflicting positions are taken on historical issues; scholars disagree not only on how to pose the questions, but also on what to admit as evidence. Sharply divergent methods are used in ever more popular literary studies of the Bible. Theological ferment persists, but is the Bible's theological vision coherent, or otherwise? The Old Testament Studies series provides an outlet for thoughtful debate in the fundamental areas of biblical history, theology and literature. Martin Hengel is well known for his seminal work on early Judaism and nascent Christianity. In this volume he turns his attention to the Septuagint—the first bible of the church, yet a product of Greek- speaking Judaism. Hengel probes into the historical and theological puzzles posed by the Septuagint opening a window on the formation of canon and attitudes to scripture in the Christian tradition, and on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in the early centuries of the era.

  • Three Early Biblical Translations
    * * * * * * * Three Early Biblical Translations We do not have any of the original manuscripts of the books that have been included in the Bible. All we have is copies of copies. Most of the original manuscripts of the Old Testament were written in Hebrew, although a few chapters of Ezra and Daniel were recorded in Aramaic, the language of Jesus. The books of the New Testament were first written in Greek. The first translations of the Bible were of the Hebrew Bible. The Septuagint (SEP-too-a-jint) was a Greek translation written about three centuries before the birth of Christ. Two other early translations, composed after the birth of Christ, were the Peshitta in Syriac and the Vulgate in Latin. These three translations, the Septuagint, Peshitta, and Vulgate became the official translations of the Old Testament for the Greek-, Syriac-, and Latin-speaking churches respectively. Each also became the basis for other translations of the Bible. The Septuagint The Septuagint (from the Latin word septuaginta meaning seventy) was a Greek version of the Bible created during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (ca. 285-246 BCE) in Alexandria, Egypt for Diaspora Jews. Most of Jews living outside of Palestine were Greek-speaking as a result of Alexander the Great's (357-323 BCE) campaign to Hellenize his empire. First verses of Genesis (click for larger picture) At first, the Septuagint (LXX) consisted only of the Pentateuch (Torah, first five books of the Bible). Different books were translated from the Hebrew over a span of two centuries, including the books of the Apocrypha, and were added to the LXX.

    KURUVACHIRA JOSE EOBIB-210 1 Student Name: KURUVACHIRA JOSE Student Country: ITALY Course Code or Name: EOBIB-210 This paper uses UK standards for spelling and punctuation THE BOOK OF REVELATION (APOCALYPSE) 1) Introduction Revelation1 or Apocalypse2 is a unique, complex and remarkable biblical text full of heavenly mysteries. Revelation is a long epistle addressed to seven Christian communities of the Roman province of Asia Minor, modern Turkey, wherein the author recounts what he has seen, heard and understood in the course of his prophetic ecstasies. Some commentators, such as Margaret Barker, suggest that the visions are those of Christ himself (1:1), which He in turn passed on to John.3 It is the only book in the New Testament canon that shares the literary genre of apocalyptic literature4, though there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the 1 Revelation is the English translation of the Greek word apokalypsis (‘unveiling’ or ‘uncovering’ in order to disclose a hidden truth) and the Latin revelatio. According to Adela Yarbro Collins, it is likely that the author himself did not provide a title for the book. The title Apocalypse came into usage from the first word of the book in Greek apokalypsis Iesou Christon meaning “A revelation of Jesus Christ”. Cf. Adela Yarbro Collins, “Revelation, Book of”, pp. 694-695. 2 In Codex Sinaiticus (4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (5th century) and Codex Ephraemi (5th century) the title of the book is “Revelation of John”. Other manuscripts contain such titles as, “Revelation of John, the one who speaks about God”, “Revelation of Saint John, the one who speaks about God”, “Revelation of John, the one who speaks about God, [the] evangelist” and “The Revelation of the Apostle John, the Evangelist”.

  • The New Testament Canon in the Lutheran Dogmaticians I
    The New Testament Canon In The Lutheran Dogmaticians I. A. 0. L’REUS Uli lxqose is to study the teachings of the Lutheran dogma- 0 ticians in the period of orthodoxy in regard to the Canon of the New Testament, specifically their criteria of canonicity. In or&r to SW the tlogmaticians in their historical setting, we shall first seek an overview of the teachings of Renaissance Catholicism, Luther, and Reformed regarding Canon. Second, we shall consider the cari). dogmaticians of Lutheranism who wrote on the back- groui~cl of the Council of Trent. Third, we shall consider the later Lutheran dogmaticians to set the direction in which the subject finally developed. 1. THE BACKGROUND In 397 A. D. the Third Council of Carthage bore witness to the Canon of the New Testament as we know it today. Augustine was present, and acquiesced, although tve know from his writings (e.g. IJc l)octrina Christiana II. 12) that he made a distinction between antilegomena and homolegoumena. The Council was held during the period of Jerome’s greatest activity, and his use and gen- cral rccollllnendatioll of the 27 New Testament books insured their acceptance and recognition throughout the Western Church from this time on. Jerome, however, also, it must be noted, had ‘his doubts about the antiiegomena. With the exception of the inclu- sion and later exclusion of the spurious Epistle to the Laodiceans in certain Wcstcrn Bibles during the Middle Ages, the matter of New Testament Canon was settled from Carthage III until the Renais- sance. The Renaissance began within Roman Catholicism.

  • THE IMPORTANCE of the SEPTUAGINT for BIBLICAL STUDIES (Part I)
    Bibliotheca Sacra 112 (Oct. 1955) 344-55. Copyright © 1955 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. Department of New Testament Greek and Literature THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SEPTUAGINT FOR BIBLICAL STUDIES (Part I) BY EVERETT F. HARRISON, TH.D., PH.D. EDITOR'S NOTE : Dr. Harrison is Professor of New Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California and an outstanding evangelical New Testament scholar. In these days when the study of Greek as an element in ministerial training is being viewed with waning enthusiasm in many quarters, being reduced from a required to an elec- tive status in institution after institution, some courage is required to maintain that the scope of Greek studies not only should be retained but broadened. Yet this is our conviction. How many seminary graduates of our era have made the acquaintance with the Greek Fathers through the original texts? Fortunately this deficiency is compensated for to some degree where there are courses in early church history which go into the source materials. But in the case of the Septuagint nothing in the curriculum helps to overcome the lack of familiarity with the Old Testament in Greek. FIRST TRANSLATION OF OLD TESTAMENT What Deissmann wrote years ago is worthy of repetition today. "The daughter belongs of right to the mother; the Greek Old and New Testaments form by their contents and by their fortunes an inseparable unity. The oldest manuscript Bibles that we possess are complete Bibles in Greek. But what history has joined together, doctrine has put asunder; the Greek Bible has been torn in halves.

  • From God to Us: How We Got Our Bible by Norman L
    From God to Us: How We Got Our Bible by Norman L. Geisler & William E. Nix Chapter 8 The Extent of the Old Testament Canon The initial acceptance of the twenty-two books (same as our thirty-nine) of the Hebrew Scriptures did not settle the issue once and for all. Later scholars who were not always fully aware of the facts of the original acceptance raised questions about the canonicity of certain books. The discussion gave rise to a technical terminology. The biblical books which were accepted by all were called "homologoumena" (lit., to speak as one). Those biblical books which were on occasion questioned by some were labeled "antilegomena" (to speak against). Those nonbiblical works rejected by all were entitled "pseudepigrapha" (false writings). A fourth category, comprised of nonbiblical books which were (are) accepted by some but rejected by others, includes the disputed books of the "apocrypha" (hidden, or doubtful). Our discussion will follow this fourfold classification. THE BOOKS ACCEPTED BY ALL--HOMOLOGOUMENA The canonicity of some books was never seriously challenged by any of the great rabbis within the Jewish community. Once these books were accepted by God's people as being from the hand of the prophet of God, they continued to be recognized as divinely authoritative by subsequent generations. Thirty-four of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament may be classed as homologoumena. This includes every book except Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Ezekiel, and Proverbs. Since none of these books has been serious disputed, our attention may be turned to the other books.

  • The Ancient Versions of Lamentations
    http://scriptura.journals.ac.za/ Scriptura 110 (2012:2), pp. 227-236 THE ANCIENT VERSIONS OF LAMENTATIONS Herrie F van Rooy Faculty of Theology North-West University Abstract The Ancient Versions of the Old Testament can be utilised for different purposes. Two of the most important usages of the Septuagint, Peshitta, Vulgate and the Targums are their use in the process of reconstructing the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and the reception of the Old Testament in different communities. This paper explores the value of the Ancient Versions of Lamentations in these two respects, discussing a representative number of examples. As far as the Hebrew text is concerned, the Ancient Versions were translated from a text close to the Masoretic Text. The Targum and Septuagint shed light on the reception of Lamen- tations in different Jewish communities, although the Septuagint was transmitted mainly in the Christian community. The Peshitta and Vulgate shed light on the reception in different Christian communities. Key Words: Lamentations, Ancient Versions, Old Testament, Textual Criticism, Septuagint Introduction Any study of the ancient versions of a book in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible may have one or more of four basic objectives. It could study a text on its own, especially with the aim of reconstructing the original version of the text. That is for example the aim of an eclectic edition of the text of one of the versions, such as the text of the Septuagint published in the Göttingen edition. It could study a version as an aid in reconstructing a text of a book in its Hebrew transmission.

  • New Testament Apocrypha
    New Testament Antilegomena, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha I. New Testament classification As with the Old Testament (see p. 29) the following fourfold classification of the New Testament includes: A. Homologoumena (books accepted by all) B. Antilegomena (books disputed by some) C. Pseudepigrapha (books rejected by all) D. Apocrypha (books accepted by some) II. The Homologoumena (books accepted by all) Twenty of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament had no serious questions about their inspiration. This includes all of the books from Matthew through Philemon, plus 1 Peter and 1 John. III. The Antilegomena (books disputed by some) Seven books of the New Testament were disputed in regard to their canonicity. A. Hebrews This book was questioned because of its anonymity. In the East, where it was believed to be written by Paul, it was readily accepted. The church in the West was more slow to accept it because of questions about its authorship. Through the influence of Jerome and Augustine in the fourth century, the West finally accepted Hebrews as canonical. B. James James was slow to be accepted by the church because of its statements on the relationship of faith and works which seemed to differ from Paul’s epistles. Luther questioned its canonicity on this basis. Eusebius, Jerome and Augustine and the rest of the church, however, finally recognized its complementary nature to Paul’s letters and hence its canonical status. C. 2 Peter 2 Peter was the most disputed book in the New Testament. Its dissimilarity with 1 Peter and the claim that it was a second century work have caused many to doubt its authenticity.
