Septuaginta an Abridged Reader's Edition: Seventy Selected Chapters from the Greek OT PB is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Septuaginta: An Abridged Reader's Edition - Seventy Selected Chapters from the Old Testament offers a curated selection of seventy chapters from the Greek Old Testament as it appears in the Rahlfs-Hanhart revised Septuaginta, laid out in a clear and readable format.
The included passages generally fit one or more of the following criteria:
- they record key milestones in the history of Israel and Judah
- they are particularly influential for the writers of the New Testament
- they are helpful in providing the reader with the overall "feel" of a given biblical book
Select texts from the Apocrypha are included that will be interesting to non-specialist readers.
The included passages cover all the major genres of the Old Testament:
- Pentateuch (16 texts)
- historical books (16 texts)
- poetry and proverbial books (17 texts)
- prophetic books (21 texts)
In order to facilitate natural and seamless reading of the text, every word occurring 100 times or fewer in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text (excluding proper names)—as well as every word that occurs more than 100 times in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text but fewer than 30 times in the Greek New Testament—is accompanied by a footnote that provides a contextual gloss for the word and (for verbs only) full parsing.
Additionally, an appendix (glossary) provides a complete alphabetized list of common vocabulary (namely, all the words that are not accompanied by a footnote), with glosses and (as applicable) comparison of a word's usage in the Septuagint to its usage in the New Testament.
All of these combined features will make Septuaginta: An Abridged Reader's Edition an indispensable resource for biblical scholars and an excellent tool for improving one's comprehension of the Greek language.
