Septuagint Links

R. Grant Jones' Notes on the Septuagint is a wealth of information on the apostolic use of the Septuagint in the New Testament. Jones admits he is not a Septuagint specialist, but rather a person with a love for the subject. Many good links to other sites. Well-researched.

Joel Kalvesmaki's The Septuagint Online: Electronic Resources for the Study of the Septuagint and Old Greek Versions is a treasure trove of information and links to all facets of the Septuagint. Kalvesmaki is studying patristics and is well-versed in the subject.

Another fascinating essay on the Septuagint is Dr. Albert C. Sundberg, Jr.'s "The Old Testament of the Early Church" Revisited. Those who reject the apocrypha on the basis of the Hebrew canon will want to read this essay which demonstrates conclusively that the Jewish canon was fluid through the end of the first century, and included some of the works in the apocrypha. Heavily footnoted.
