Fr. Barthelemy was an internationally recognized expert on Old Testament studies, and a member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission. In this work he dispenses with the technical language of exegesis and linguistics, and speaks theologically as a priest, a teacher, a believer. This work is an introduction to the spiritual teaching of the Old Testament, and can greatly help believers to hear that renewing and rejuvenating Word of God with deepened understanding. This is a book about God and man. It is also about the long history of God's search for man and the difficulty man had in keeping intact the divine image in which he was created. The purpose of this book is to present what God says about Himself and about His image (man) in the inspired texts of Scripture. This powerful work by an acclaimed Biblical and spiritual writer can enkindle the heart and enlighten the mind of modern man to see who we truly are in God's eyes, and help us to understand the full extent of our deep need for God to become his faithful followers and images once again.

"This preliminary and interim report of the international and interconfessional committee of the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project, sponsored by the United Bible Societies, is both tentative and summary. It is being made available to the Bible translators and scholars on a periodic basis, so as to provide a summary analysis of the continuing work of the Committee ... in view of the practical goals of this project, the selection of textual problems has been governed by two considerations: (1) the textual problems should involve significant differences of meaning, and (2) they should be those which are likely to come to the attention of Bible translators as the result of their consulting one or more of the four most widely used texts in modern languages, namely, the Revised Standard Version (RSV), the Jerusalem Bible in French (J), the Revised Luther Bible in German (L), and the New English Bible (NEB). Most of the textual problems treated in this preliminary report are noted in the apparatus of the Third Edition of the Kittel text of the Hebrew Old Testament, and hence the reader of this report may consult the Kittel text for supplementary textual evidence"--Pg. V. & VI.
This ground-breaking study in Septuagint translation technique is, after sixty years, finally available to an English-speaking audience. Barthélemy provides us with a first look at the fragments of the Greek Minor Prophets Scroll from the Cave of Horror and embarks on a careful examination of this scroll’s place in the history of Septuagint translation and revision. He poses questions and answers that have yet to be fully explored. Devanciers d’Aquila is described as “epoch-making” (Robert Kraft—Gnomon), “a stimulating contribution” (Sidney Jellicoe—Journal of the American Oriental Society), and “a monograph of singular importance” (Geza Vermes–Journal of Semitic Studies).
