Publisher's Synopsis
Genesis belongs to the Old Testament books having a Greek name. Although most of the book's chapters regard Israel, the Creation stories were and remain so crucial for the life of Israel itself, that Genesis (Making, Creation) deserves its name completely. God in the tradition of Israel is first and above any other of His properties and powers 'the Creator'. The book is illuminated and features a relatively large typeface, making its reading a pleasure. The text is the one prepared by Alfred Rahlfs, modified by the Church of Greece to take advantage of forms being in use in the Greek liturgical tradition, a tradition of the highest authority, coming through Byzantium and being alive even now. You may like to check this edition even if you already have the Septuagint in some other form.
