Overview
The great Septuagint scholar Henry St. John Thackeray gave the Schweich Lectures in 1920, which he, then, published in this volume in an expanded form with additional appendixes. The subject was “The liturgical use of the Old Testament as a factor in exegesis.” This is a question that had not previously been worked out, as it deserves, and one on which the LXX supplies important evidence. Lecture I examines the Septuagint’s origins as a translation. Lecture II looks at the Septuagint in Jewish worship, specifically in the context of the Feast of Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles. Finally, Lecture III studies the relevance of the Book of Baruch, an apocryphal book originally intended for liturgical use.
