Ad fontes – Study volume (paper book)

The origin story of the Bible, as well as its historical and religious background, are topics that do not really excite even the majority of preachers and theologians. Within this, quite a few people deal with the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint. Perhaps this is because we feel these topics are distant from us, or we do not see their relevance. However, it is time to realize that they are of great importance. If the Torah is not translated into Greek, the mediated language of the New Testament era, then the Christian mission will probably never be realized. Without the Greek Torah, the synagogues of the Hellenistic age, which attracted multitudes of non-Jews and made them ardent followers of Yahweh, would not have been possible.
