I found this on the Logos blog today. It’s something I wrote for the Logos blog in 2007, and I don’t think I ever posted it here. Forgot I even wrote it (I’m doing some LXX thinking today at work so I found it via Google!). Here’s the short article — it addresses the “law dispensed by angels” idea in the NT, something that isn’t in the traditional Hebrew text, but IS suggested by the LXX.
Editor’s note: replaced broken link with the repost of the article.
This short post over at the Exegetical Tools blog draws attention to accessible introductions to the Septuagint. Several books on the Septuagint are mentioned: Invitation to the Septuagint , by Jobes and Silva The Septuagint (Understanding the Bible and Its World) ,...
That’s an important question — and the title of this post by John Meade over at the Logos Academic blog. It’s worth a read, so check it out!
I’m happy to announce and recommend this article by Ed Glenny: “The Septuagint and Biblical Theology.” I’m even happier that it’s freely accessible to all of you. Ed was my first Bible teacher way back in the day at Bible college. Listeners to...

My friend David deSilva recently posted a lecture on the Septuagint on YouTube. I know many readers have an interest in LXX studies. David teaches for Ashland Seminary and has published widely in the areas of New Testament, the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and...
That’s the question proposed for consideration in a post by a friend of mine, Gabe Martini (“Is the Septuagint a Divinely Inspired Translation?“). Nothing like a provocative headline! I thought you Septuagint fans out there would like it. Gabe is...
is that why Paul (if im not mistaken) said that if any other message is received from an angel, it should be condenmed?
Galatians 1:8 (New International Version)
8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
a@rode: Interesting idea, and I think it’s related to some degree. Angels were common mediators in Jewish literature, including the Bible (Scripture or not – perhaps just messenging), and so Paul went to the “nth” degree to warn his readers.
