Craig A. Evans
"Timothy McLay's book makes a much-needed contribution to the field
of biblical studies. It is simply a must for students and scholars
who think they know what the Septuagint is and how it relates to
the New Testament. This clearly written, readable book is rich with
insight and exegetical nuggets. I recommend it highly." Albert
Pietersma
"A recent upsurge of interest in the Septuagint is evidenced not
only by several modern-language translation and commentary projects
but also by the appearance of a second introductory volume on the
Septuagint in the millennium just begun. Not surprisingly, this
newfound enthusiasm for ancient Greek biblical texts focuses on two
traditional areas: (1) the Septuagint as translation of a Semitic
parent text and thus as a new entity within Greek-speaking Jewry
and (2) the Septuagint as a paradigmatic body of literature for the
writers of the New Testament. Timothy McLay's new volume aims to
clarify the latter area. To that end McLay brings to bear a wealth
of primary and secondary information, and his stimulating
discussions on issues of central concern to this field will greatly
assist renewed engagement with an old topic. The timing of this
book is excellent. "
