D. Bercot. Most western Christians don’t realize that for the first 400 years of Christianity, the Septuagint was the Old Testament used by the Christian Church. Jesus and His apostles almost always quoted from the Septuagint when they quoted the Scriptures. This is the reason why the Old Testament passages quoted in the New Testament often read differently than they do in our western Bibles.
In this thoroughly researched work, Bercot explains what the Septuagint is; its history; and its use by Jesus, the apostles, and the early church. He also details how Jerome managed to switch the western church over to the Masoretic Text around the beginning of the 5th century.
