This project was begun to satisfy my curiosity about the New Testament authors’
reliance on the Septuagint and to provide a framework to address the question of the
appropriate source text for Old Testament translations into English. For those who are
new to the Septuagint, I have provided an “Introduction,” discussing the history of that
translation. “The Septuagint in the Early Church” addresses how the Church in the West
departed from reliance on the Septuagint under the influence of Jerome, though earlier
writers had generally read the Septuagint and defended its use.
I investigated the New Testament authors’ dependence on the Septuagint largely by
comparing New Testament quotations of the Old with both the Septuagint and an
English translation of the Masoretic (Hebrew) text. “The Septuagint in the New
Testament” summarizes the methodology I employed in assessing those comparisons
and the results I discovered. A large number of quotations agree in sense with the
Septuagint, but disagree with the Masoretic text - I compiled a list of these verses, and a
list of the occasions (far smaller in number) where the New Testament author used a
Masoretic reading rather than one from the Septuagint.
