I've gotten into a discussion with someone on another list about the
Septuagint and the Greek language. I told the story of the 70
scholars translating the Hebrew into Greek, and how, for Diaspora
Jews, Greek was once considered a sacred language. I was basically
told that all of this is false by this person. Rather than get into a
debating contest, I was wondering if someone on b-greek could
recommend scholarly book or two giving information on this subject?
Thanks in advance.
