Radu Gheorghita explores the discernible and distinct influence exerted by the Septuagint on the Epistle to the Hebrews. Has the author of Hebrews formulated his argumentation in a way that he would not have done had he been expounding the Hebrew text? Is it legitimate to affirm that the Septuagint had a determinant role in the shaping of the Epistle? The investigation focuses on five aspects of influence on passages in which the argument is developed on a Greek text divergent from a Hebrew text. It concludes with an in-depth analysis of the use of Hab 2:3-4 and argues that the significant editorial changes are concurrent with the textual tradition and theology of the LXX Habakkuk.

Radu Gheorghita, Born 1961; 1984 B.S. in Physics at University of Cluj, Romania; 1991 M.Div. at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, U.S.A.; 2000 Ph.D. Cambridge University, U.K.; currently Scholar in Residence at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, U.S.A., and Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Universitatea Emanuel, Oradea, Romania.
