Purchase options and add-ons

In  2 Maccabees 1–7, Seth Ehorn provides a foundational analysis of the Greek text of 2 Maccabees. The analysis is distinguished by the detailed yet comprehensive attention paid to the text. Ehorn’s analysis is a convenient pedagogical and reference tool that explains the form and syntax of the biblical text, offers guidance for deciding between competing semantic analyses, engages important text-critical debates, and addresses questions relating to the Greek text that are frequently overlooked by standard commentaries. Beyond serving as a succinct and accessible analytic key,  2 Maccabees 1–7 also reflects recent advances in scholarship on Greek grammar and linguistics and is informed by current discussions within Septuagint studies. These handbooks prove themselves indispensable tools for anyone committed to a deep reading of the Greek text of the Septuagint.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I look forward to using [this volume] in a classroom setting, where it will no doubt prove an invaluable resource. It will also be of use to scholars who wish to consult an up-to-date resource that addresses the linguistic particularities of Greek text and their relevance for text-critical issues. As such, it fulfills the aim of the series and represents a welcome and timely resource. The editors ought to be congratulated for a great start to the series.

-- Jean Maurais ― Review of Biblical Literature

This handbook is an excellent resource, providing readers with a means to access the language of 2 Maccabees. It is an encouraging sign that the LXX can be treated as an example of ancient Greek literature and has contributions to make towards our wider understanding of such work.

-- Joseph Scales ― Journal for the Study of the Old Testament

This volume is an excellent start of this series of Septuagint handbooks: it fully matches the aims of the series, as pointed out by the editors, it is fully up to date in its application of relevant resources and studies on 2 Maccabees, and it provides a wealth of information on grammatical and syntactical issues, which will be very helpful not only to graduate students, who may be the main target audience, but surely also to specialists in the field. Of course, this is not a study to read in one flow but a handbook in the traditional sense of the word, to be consulted time and again, each time one wants to study a passage of 2 Maccabees in Greek.

-- Jan Willem Van Henten ― Review of Biblical Literature

This volume makes for an auspicious beginning to another needed series focused on the original text of the bible.

-- Timothy A. Brookins ― Religious Studies Review

Ehorn’s careful analysis will be a valuable pedagogical aid to intermediate students of the Greek language and 2 Maccabees in particular. More than this, however, it will be an indispensable conversation partner even for advanced students and senior scholars in future engagements with this historically significant and challenging Greek text.

-- Tyler J. Smith ― Biblical Notes

Review

It is a delight to see the first volume in the Baylor Handbook on the Septuagint series. Seth Ehorn has provided an exceptional guide to the reading of 2 Maccabees 1–7 that will be indispensable for anyone wishing to explore in depth the Greek grammar of the book. A rich introduction provides an overview of the literary structure, dating, and language features of this book and should be consulted by everyone working on 2 Maccabees. The translation and commentary provide an informed guide to the syntax and semantics of the Greek text, explaining in a clear and concise way any difficulties within the text. Students of Greek can now explore for themselves one of the more difficult Greek texts in the Septuagint.

-- Jim K. Aitken, Reader in Hebrew and Early Jewish Studies, University of Cambridge
