![]() Peter King, SJ, has also released a translation of the Septuagint in four volumes: The Pentateuch 2010, The Historical Books 2012, The Wisdom Literature 2008, and The Prophets 2013. It uses the semi-critical Septuaginta of Alfred Rahlfs as its base. Ive always said,that if I bought only one more Bible study book it would be The Greek-English Lexicon to the Septuagint. In 2008, The Orthodox Study Bible was released. The Eastern Orthodox churches in English-speaking countries also have several options available for English translations based off the Septuagint. In the translation principles, the committee states they have a target audience "that closely approximates that of the NRSV." Even here, they have to do textual criticism as the extant copies of the LXX don't all agree. ![]() There is also the New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS). It has continually been in print since then and was updated as LXX2012: Septuagint in English 2012. Sir Lancelot Brenton published one in 1851. The translation was revised and enlarged by C. ![]() ![]() The first was The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Covenant, translated by Charles Thomson in 1808 (though he did not include the apocrypha). 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness. 3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. 2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water. Some of them are published as academic works, while others are intended for the common use and worship (especially in Eastern Orthodox Churches). 1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
