The Translation That Shaped the New Testament

It's worth noting that when New Testament authors quoted the Old Testament, they often quoted

from the Septuagint's Greek rendering rather than the original Hebrew. Finally,

its cultural and theological impact was immense. The Septuagint was a key that unlocked

the Hebrew scriptures for the entire non-Hebrew speaking world, which was critical for the spread of

Christianity. It allowed the faith's core texts to be accessible to Gentiles, and it naturally

became central to theological debates where translation nuances could shape interpretation.
