Essays in Biblical Greek

Essays in Biblical Greek contains seven lengthy essays on Greek, derived from a series of lectures first delivered at Oxford by Edwin Hatch. For more than a century, Hatch’s work has been an invaluable aid for Greek scholarship, textual criticism, Septuagint scholarship, and anyone interested in linguistics and the history of biblical Greek. These essays are designed to point out the rich fields in the study of the Greek language. Hatch begins with a lengthy essay on the Septuagint, and argues for its interpretive and linguistic value. This volume also contains lengthy essays on textual criticism of the Septuagint, Origen’s revision of the Septuagint text of Job, and a lengthy essay on the Greek text of Ecclesiasticus.
