The Septuagint as Translation: TM Law's Septuagint Sessions With Ben Wright

Maybe a word of warning or clarification. When Wright wants to make the distinction between interpretation and exegesis, his point is not applicable to any translation work, but limited only to a certain type of it. Most of the books of the LXX represent mechanical word for word type of translation. In such case one can argue that the translator had a special theologically driven reason to interpret the text in a certain way if and only if he deviates from a normal way of translating. Common translation solutions only tell that a normal mechanical approach was used; nothing more.
