New English Translation of the Septuagint
Edited by Albert Pietersma
Crux price - $26.40
Retail Price: $ 32.95
ISBN: 9780195289756

Ronnie says:
"The New English Translation of the Septuagint is a modern translation of one of the most important works in the history of Christianity. Adolf Deismann says it best, "A single hour lovingly devoted to the text of the Septuagint will further our exegetical knowledge of the Pauline Epistles more than a whole day spent over a commentary." (The Philology of the Greek Bible; Hodder and Stoughton, 1908) So buy this book."
