This article deals with the question of the nature of and scholarly approaches to studying Greek syntax in the Septuagint. The concrete point of departure is the publication of A Syntax of Septuagint Greek by T. Muraoka (Leuven: Peeters, 2016). The author discusses Muraokaâs work, while touching upon general trends in Septuagint scholarship, and reviews the book in a detailed manner. The authorâs theoretical considerations are illustrated by two case studies that demonstrate the problems associated with Muraokaâs approach to syntax in the Septuagint. By way of conclusion, the author reflects on future directions in research on the Septuagint and its language usage.
