New Hub for Septuagint Studies

Via Jim Davilas blog, I have been made aware of that on September 17, Vancouver’s Trinity Western University launches the Septuagint Institute, a hub for Septuagint research, translation, and publication projects.“The launch of the Septuagint Institute is a truly historic event,” says Robert Hiebert, “not only for our campus, but also for Canadian and international biblical scholarship. This new research centre is the only one of its kind in North America, which makes it vital since the Septuagint is such an important part of Jewish and Christian history in the Graeco-Roman period.” Further info can be gathered here: NewsWise.
