Kindle book: Discovering the Septuagint
Be the first one to write a reviewD. 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.

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. (The eastern church still uses the Septuagint.)
Bercot also explodes the popular myth that the Masoretic Text preserves the exact text of the original Bible writers, without a jot or tittle changed. He argues that Christians today should use the same Old Testament as that used by the apostles and the New Testament church. Finally, he shows the reader how they will be blessed by using the Septuagint in their Bible reading and study.
