As I mentioned in a previous post, there are a handful of new publications that I’m highlighting here one at a time.
The second is a chapter I wrote in the brand new T&T Clark Handbook of Hellenistic Jewish Literature in Greek, edited by my friend Marieke Dhont. This volume will be quite large and has a sweeping scope. It’s set to become available in just a few weeks from now.
(more…)Not long ago, I posted a book announcement for my coedited volume with Greg Lanier, The Authority of the Septuagint. You can read more about that there if you haven’t already.
Today I want to begin highlighting several other publications of mine that have either appeared recently, or are will appear in the coming month or so. There are five of them, so I’ll discuss each one in a separate post in no particular order.
(more…)I’m excited to announce a new book coming out this October with IVP Academic, entitled The Authority of the Septuagint: Biblical, Historical, and Theological Approaches. 
This is a project that I have been working on with my friend and colleague, Gregory R. Lanier, who is a professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. Greg and I have worked on a number of projects together by now, all of them related to the Septuagint in some way or another.
This project is unique in a few ways. First of all, this book targets the issue highlighted in its title, namely probing whether and how “the Septuagint” has authority as a text. That is a loaded question, of course. In one sense, the answer is obviously no. Yet there are ways in which it is a little less obvious, especially when it comes to New Testament authors citing Septuagint-like texts in their writing. Greg and I addressed this issue in part in our book The Septuagint: What It Is and Why It Matters (Crossway), but this book takes things further. (more…)
Septuaginta &c.
