If you're a student of Greek, you'll appreciate this handy volume. It gives you the complete Septuagint text in parallel columns with Brenton's English translation. You'll gain a better understanding of the Scriptures because the Septuagint vocabulary is frequently found in quotations and terms used by the New Testament writers. 1378 pages, hardcover from Hendrickson.

The forward is a bit scary in admitting that Christ and His apostles used this but then flips and claims that much later 10th century hebrew works are more reliable than what our Lord and His apostles quoted and referred to as scripture?!? Well, as a christian, I choose to follow what Jesus taught and said and not modern bible "scholars".

As this Apocrypha is taken from the Greek translation, it doesn't contain all of the books from the Hebrew Apocrypha. However, it is well arranged, and interesting to read.

First, christianbook.com, This is one of the best for price, search ability, and speed of delivery of any online book store I have used (many).
Second, Septuagint, This version is so effective on answering many OT questions. Names mentioned in one place match names of people/places in other place, including apocrypha. The best part is that the language of translation is as convicting as intended. Many English translations erring on the side of commonality and familiarity, and frankly lukewarmness, are not here. I read a verse in particular that was specifically prophesied over my family in my other versions and had no new fear/respect. I definitely have it with this version. God Bless you.

This is the closest to the original text for the O.T. that I have been able to find. I just love it. Jesus did too! In fact He quoted from it. Great!

The book itself:
Well made book, should last a long time.
Open the book and lay it flat the pages lie and remain flat and don't flip around. I like that.
The small English print isn't an issue with me, I can see it fine.
Study resource:
A nicely welcomed addition to my Library of study materials.
Christianbooks.com:
Nice price.
Other places were much more expensive and the delivery was a day ahead of the scheuled time.
Great service, great product/book.

I received my copy in the mail yesterday and was overall extremely pleased. I can highly recommend adding this version of the Septuagint to your library.

A very handy reference volume containing the Septuagint (including Apocrypha) texts. The introductory notes suggest a somewhat (typical) anti-Jewish bias but give an interesting history of the Greek translations all the same. Having a Septuagint is a great study tool for reading the Greek translation against the original Hebrew as well as comparing the style and substance against the Greek New Testament texts. However, the print quality of this edition appears to be essentially a facsimile of the original published text and is difficult to read.

A very nice in-expensive copy of the septuagint. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to study the septuagint, but on a limited budget.
