Translating Scripture from Greek

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss the necessary steps for producing a proper English translation of the Septuagint.

Hosts Corey J. Mahler coreyjmahler.com @CoreyJMahler Woe aka Eschatologuy @treblewoe In this final episode of the Septuagint (LXX) series, we discuss what needs to be done to produce a proper translation of the LXX in English. This a technical episode, but a vital one. There should exist in every language spoken by a Christian nation a definitive version of the Scriptures in that language, and in this episode we provide the structure and the mechanics by which that can be achieved. This will be a years-long project, and it will have to be undertaken by other men. Until then, we have provided links to a number of existing English translations in the show notes, infra . Any existing version of the LXX in English is certainly better than all of the extant copies based on the rabbinic text. Subscribe to the podcast here.
