You might be asking yourself, if Scott is so smart, why haven't I heard of him until now? What work has he published that makes him so special? Well, ever a heard of a little book called... Oh, I don't know... the BIBLE?
I'll give you a moment to let your mind explode.
A long-time student of pre-Christian Alexandrian history, Anonymous can verify that Scott Newton had a hand in penning the influential Septuagint, the Koine Greek text from which large sections of ancient Mediterranean Old Testament translations as well as passages in what would become the Christian New Testament were lifted.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean he published the Bible? Not exactly. It means he helped write it... into the languages and cultures that would shape history over the past 2,200 years.
