Текст Писания и религиозная идентичность: Септуагинта в православной традиции
In polemics of Orthodox theologians with Jews, Protestants and Cath‐
olics, the Septuagint has often been regarded as the hallmark of Or‐
thodoxy. The article demonstrates that the picture is much more com‐
plicated: throughout the history of the Orthodox tradition violent
polemics against allegedly corrupted Hebrew or Latin Bibles existed
side by side with quoting the Hebrew readings by the early Byzantine
Fathers or correcting the Church Slavonic Bible against the Vulgate.
Homiletic reasons were much more important than purely textual
matters. A historical survey of the role the Septuagint played in the
Orthodox tradition forms the background for investigating the place of
the Septuagint in contemporary discussions of the Orthodox identity.
