About this audiobook
The earliest voice of the Christian Church rings out clear and true across the centuries in Christopher Glyn's reverent yet eminently listenable narration. It's not often that you come across a document of such religious and historical importance as The Septuagint Genesis – in fact its significance would be hard to overstate. But what is the Septuagint? Well, its name refers to the "seventy' (actually 72) translators – six from each tribe of Israel – who translated the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, the primary language of Jews in Egypt at the time. This, the oldest and arguably most important translation, was the version of The Bible that Jesus himself would have read – and the one from which almost all the New Testament's writers were quoting. In fact, some 300 passages directly quoted or referenced come from the Septuagint text. And that precious text rings out true and clear in Christopher Glyn's reverent yet eminently listenable narration of The Septuagint Genesis. Only a narrator of Christopher's vast scriptural knowledge and understanding, combined with the experience gained over a lifetime creating inspirational audio and video books, could be worthy of such a project. And to follow, we can look forward to many more audiobook instalments to come from this incomparable piece of religious history.
About the author

In the 35 years since then, he has have been very active in the field of Christian radio, primarily on the Asian and African continents. "For years it has been my dream to record an audio version of the Holy Bible, combining my training as an actor with my love for God's Word. I am happy now to have the opportunity to do so. I started the very long process of recording the Bible three years ago and, by the summer of 2011, the entire project was completed. I pray with my whole heart that these readings will be a blessing and an inspiration to many."
