The Origin of the LXX: Happy LXX Day 2018!

In celebration of International LXX Day, we posted an essay written by the editor of the Academic Blog for you to enjoy.

Not only that, we've discounted a number of solid LXX resources by 30% to celebrate the day.

Enjoy the read, part 2 is coming tomorrow.

Tavis ... please let The Editor know he did a fine job. Very nice. Especially looking forward to part 2.

And the sale ... good choices, affordable, also nicely done!

For others:

- The mentioned discount code isn't needed, best I can see.

- The T&T Companion is a book-by-book discussion of the LXX; really good, especially for books where the LXX appears more stable vs the MT.

- Although Ottley is a century old, he has some good discussion of the greek

- Hengel offers an excellent discussion during the 'church' years; if you like the fathers, you'll enjoy

- Dine is a nice cogent overview and up to date

While waiting for part 2 of the LXX (probably why the original LXX didn't end at Deuteronomy), this article is timely, what with the 2nd new ICC volume in prepub on Isa:

That was a fun post to research. Not much to go on, actually.

And the second LXX post will publish in the next hour or so

Indeed great job. [Y] I also appreciate the links to online articles that Logos doesn't have.

Thank you, Tavis. The articles were very informative.

My wish: to enjoy other titles on sale on LXX day next year!
