Greetings to the b-greek members,
As a new student to both the b-greek world and that of Biblical studies,
I would like to send my gratitiude to those of you who are upholding the
idea that there is no easy way to learn langauge. I have often wondered
myself how I might be able to tackle some of the extras needed in this
field, but have discovered there is no such thing as a shortcut. I think
this is what seperates the serious scholar, from the wanna be's. In my
own interests I understand the need for Hebrew, Aramaic, German, and
French, but I have a similar sort of question regarding LXX studies and
the Judaic world. Is there any possible way I can study the Hellenistic
world view of LXX, without coming at it through a Judaic lense. I more
desire to focus on its literary aspects and how it might have been read,
than I do any sort of critical historical work. I was thinking of
perhaps trying to come at it through the Greek classics, but that again
is years of study which I seem to be running short on. Any comments
concerning LXX will be greatly appreciated, and any comments or ideas on
how else to study it as anything other than a Jewish document would
indept me to you.
Best Wishes
Cameron VanEpps
