Скачать или смотреть Did the Septuagint Have a Different Hebrew Parent Text? | With Dead Sea Scrolls Scholar Kipp Davis

Was the Hebrew Bible textually fluid during the Second Temple period?
Or did all manuscripts — including the Greek Septuagint — ultimately derive from one stable Hebrew tradition?

Dead Sea Scrolls scholar Dr. Kipp Davis (‪@DrKippDavis‬) joins Stephen Nelson (‪@CrossBibleOfficial‬) to evaluate OT scholar Peter J. Gentry’s thesis in “Chaos Theory and the Text of the Old Testament.” Gentry challenges the widespread view (associated with Emanuel Tov and Eugene Ulrich) that the Septuagint often reflects a distinct Hebrew textual tradition rather than merely an adapted form of proto-MT.
