Andrew King has written his post on Chapters 3 (Was There a Bible before the Bible?) and
4 (The First Bible Translators) of T. Michael Law’s When God Spoke Greek: The Septuagint and the Making of the Christian Bible. King’s review is mostly positive, but he does challenge Law at a couple points–questioning some of the terminology and whether or not Law fairly represents the breadth of scholarship on the subject–and he has some concerns about the format (i.e., endnotes instead of footnotes). One of the benefits of this review is that it will give readers another perspective as they work through Law’s books.
