Others demonstrated an unfortunate but understandable mistrust of the theology of other branches of Christianity.

The text of the New Testament and Psalms translation is currently the New King James Version accompanied by Orthodox viewpoint commentary.The Septuagint is the Greek version of the Bible used by Christ, the Apostles, and the early church. With this Bible, you will become a more informed Christian by listening to Christian voices from the first ten centuries after Christ. The Septuagint also clearly attests to the developing concept of the expected Messiah in the Hellenistic period. Now the question of what is the ‘true’ Old Testament text cannot be separated from the question of what the early Church regarded as its Bible. In other places, however, the Septuagint translation yields different theological emphases from those that are to be found in the Hebrew Bible.

If one cannot recognise these scriptural quotations when they are encountered in the services, then one’s apprehension of the Orthodox faith is handicapped.the term has come to refer to the other scriptural and related texts translated from Hebrew and Aramaic into Greek in the next century. In addition, readers will find sections included, based upon rabbinical traditions used in the making of the Septuagint, such as Psalm 151 and Job 42:18-22, that are not in other translations.
