Index
Alison G. Salvesen is Professor of Early Judaism and Christianity
at the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford, and Polonsky
Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Jewish Studies.
Timothy Michael Law is an independent scholar.
Whether one is interested in textual matters or theology, one will
find it discussed at some point in this volume. Each chapter
concludes with a suggested reading list and an extensive
bibliography. This is a volume that I anticipate returning to
often.
*Jason Maston, Religious Studies Review*
This is an excellent book not only for theologians, but for
seasoned scholars in many different fields of study, since research
on the Septuagint touches on so many disciplines. Each and every
chapter in this book reflects high-quality research. This volume is
a welcome addition to the Oxford Handbook series!
*Hennie Stander, University of Pretoria, Review of Biblical
Literature*
In sum, the editors have succeeded in presenting the diversity of
research on the Septuagint in a scholarly yet readable manner
*Martin Rosel, Journal for the Study of Judaism*
I salute the editors and authors of this very substantial and
impressive new contribution to the field of Jewish, as well as
biblical, studies.
*Nicholas de Lange, Journal of Jewish Studies *
