T&T Clark Handbook Of Septuagint Research (T&T Clark Handbooks)

Students and scholars now widely recognize the importance of the Septuagint to the history of the Greek language, the textual development of the Bible, and to Jewish and Christian religious life in both the ancient and modern worlds. This handbook is designed for those who wish to engage the Septuagint in their research, yet have been unsure where to turn for guidance or concise, up-to-date discussion that goes beyond the introductory level. The twenty-five chapters in this volume aim to break down the barriers involved in the technical debates and subspecialties as much as possible and thereby to equip readers to conduct their own research. Each chapter is written by a leading Septuagint scholar and focuses upon a major area of research in the discipline, providing an overview of the topic, key debates and views, a survey or demonstration of the methods involved, and points to ongoing research questions. This Handbook also provides a brief, annotated bibliography of important secondary resources at the end of each chapter, a volume glossary, and a detailed survey of literature for Septuagint studies as a whole. Written to encourage active engagement with the most important issues in the field, this Handbook provides an essential resource for specialists and non-specialists alike.
