We have previously posted other pages at this website for those who already are familiar with the Septuagint. But this page is for those who have only heard the term, without knowing much about it, we wanted to post some basic information, which can serve as a place to start.
The Septuagint is the Old Testament written in Greek, which was translated from the Hebrew. It is not the New Testament, and it is ONLY the Old Testament. That’s it. There isn’t more to it. That is what the Septuagint is.
However, it is a bit more complicated, but not because of what the Septuagint itself is, or was.
The Problem is that – just like the "missing link" in the theory of evolution, the Septuagint – in Biblical studies – remains the "missing link".
There are no parchments or manuscripts today, that can be proven to be The Text of the Septuagint.
There is speculation about some manuscripts, and there are counterfeit manuscripts that are simply called "the septuagint", but there are no parchments or manuscripts today, that can be proven to be The Text of the Septuagint.
