Description
This volume contains the poetical and wisdom books of the Septuagint Old Testament, without the Psalms, offered by Elpenor separately (check: elpenor.org/books/septuagint-psalms/default-en.asp). They can be read as a highly practical and existential part of the Bible, and a preparation for the revelations of the Prophets. Beyond that, by giving a lot of opposite directions in their views and arguments they encourage free thinking and research. The book is offered at cost price, it is illuminated, and it features a relatively large typeface, making its reading a pleasure. The text is the one prepared by Alfred Rahlfs, modified by the Church of Greece to take advantage of forms being in use in the Greek liturgical tradition, a tradition of the highest authority, coming through Byzantium and being alive even now. You may like to check this edition even if you already have the Septuagint in some other form. Official page: elpenor.org
