""An Apology for the Septuagint"" is a book written by Edward William Grinfield in 1850. The book is a defense of the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, which is considered by many to be the most important translation of the Old Testament. Grinfield argues that the Septuagint is not only a valid translation of the Hebrew Bible, but also has claims to biblical and canonical authority. He provides a brief history of the Septuagint, explaining how it was created and how it became an important text for early Christians. Grinfield also addresses criticisms of the Septuagint, including claims that it is inaccurate or unreliable. He argues that these criticisms are unfounded and that the Septuagint is a valuable resource for understanding the Bible. Overall, ""An Apology for the Septuagint"" is an important work for anyone interested in the history of biblical translation and interpretation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
