Beskrivning

A translated text is laced with interpretive assumptions. By focusing on the Septuagint, J. Ross Wagner highlights the creative theology hidden in translation. His model couples patient investigation of the act of translation with careful attention to the translated texts' rhetorical features. Wagner focuses upon Isaiah's opening vision, clarifying its language, elucidating its character, and contextualizing its message. Reading the Sealed Book demonstrates how such translations serve as distinctive contributions to theology and reveal the contours of Jewish identity in the Hellenistic diaspora.

"Believe it or not, the study of the Greek translation of Isaiah is currently in turmoil! This affects our understanding of Isaiah, of the world in which the translation was undertaken, and of its importance as a central part of Scripture for the later emergence of the Christian religion. Wagner's is a work of careful and yet lucid scholarship that clarifies in a balanced manner the methods and the goals of this translator. It should be widely adopted." --H. G. M. Williamson, Regius Professor of Hebrew, University of Oxford
