Hebraica veritas versus Septuaginta auctoritatem

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For the church, does scriptural authority lie in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, or in the ancient Greek Septuagint translation? This is a wonderfully clear and accessible exposition of the debate first initiated by St. Augustine and St. Jerome, and why it mattered both then and now. Aimed at an educated readership in Catholic circles, the book will also be of interest to anyone involved in biblical studies.”
