Eastern Christianity

History & Biography

“Here is a really excellent and most welcome volume: it aims to provide ‘a series of windows’ into the literatures of the various languages of the Christian Middle East. For each language, well-chosen excerpts, ranging from four to nine in number, are introduced and translated, accompanied by helpful bibliographical guidance in each case for readers who wish to explore further. The book provides both the general reader and scholars in related areas with a wonderful gateway into little-known areas of early Christian literature.”

Hebraica veritas versus Septuaginta auctoritatem

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Taking as his starting point the rivalry between Jerome’s hebraica veritas and Augustine’s Septuaginta auctoritas, Ignacio Carbajosa skillfully illustrates how, mutatis mutandis, the tension between the two positions still exists in modern biblical scholarship. The synthesis which he suggests happens also to be of particular relevance for biblical translations used in liturgical worship. This is a highly illuminating and most welcome discussion.”
