Reviews
This is an excellent work of scholarship that points the way for future research. It repeatedly indicates questions that still need answering, and is full of examples of good practice. It should quickly become a standard reference in any work on Septuagint Studies and/or Koine Greek. * Dries De Crom, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
This is an excellent work of scholarship that points the way for future research. It repeatedly indicates questions that still need answering, and is full of examples of good practice. It should quickly become a standard reference in any work on Septuagint Studies and/or Koine Greek. * Dries De Crom, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * This is a timely publication that continues and enhances Lee's stature as a leader in the field of Septuagint studies. * Larry Perkins, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly * This is an interesting and engaging book for anyone who wants to wallow in the mechanics of Greek, with an interest in the Pentateuch. It contains much material for those who want to consider uses of the Pentateuch (and indeed Septuagint) in the New Testament. The book pays homage to Greek, and is a delight for any enthusiast to read. * Cressida Ryan, Classics for All: Championing Classics in Schools * Without exaggeration, read everything he writes. And I would include the recent volume, The Greek of the Septuagint, to the list of essential reading... it is nearly impossible to disagree with John Lee's conclusion... * Matthew J. Albanese, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, Trinity Journal *
Author Information
John Lee was trained in Classics at the University of Sydney, where he also learnt Hebrew. After gaining his doctorate in Cambridge in 1970, he lectured on Greek for nearly 30 years at the University of Sydney before retirement in 2001. His research interests are in Greek language, especially all forms of Koine Greek, and Greek lexicography. His doctoral dissertation was on the language of the Septuagint Pentateuch and his Grinfield Lectures on the Septuagint in Oxford (2011-2012) carried the same subject further. He is also known for his History of New Testament Lexicography (2003).
