{"product_id":"9780802827562","title":"The Septuagint, Sexuality, and the New Testament","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking book William Loader shows how the Greek  translation of the Hebrew Scriptures created new slants and  emphases on sexuality that would leave their mark on the writings  of Philo and the New Testament--and ultimately on Christian  thought itself. According to Loader, \"Some things are lost in  translation, others gained.\" The making of the Septuagint could  not help but result in verbal connections, lost emphases, and  novel wordplays that opened the door to new interpretations. One  particularly important instance of this effect of translation is  the Septuagint's treatment of sexuality. In the course of his  book Loader explores sexuality as it is presented in the  Decalogue, the stories of Creation and the Garden of Eden, and  the brief reference to divorce in Deuteronomy 24, looking in turn  at their Septuagint translations, their use in Philo, and their  possible impact on the New Testament. These fascinating studies  have important implications for thinking about gender issues and  male-female relations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS TRADE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47673669484596,"sku":"9780802827562","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9780802827562.jpg?v=1776380158","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9780802827562","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
