Reception of the Septuagint in the early church

The aim of this paper is to portray the reception of the Septuagint in the
 early Church. Firstly, the synagogue view of the translation is provided,
 from the reports in which the origin of the translation is enthusiastically
 discussed, to the rejection of the Septuagint. A particular emphasis is
 placed on theological argumentation attempting to prove the divine
 inspiration of the translation of the Seventy. In this process, the
 prominent figures are: Justin Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyons, Clement of
 Alexandria, Origen, Pseudo-Justin, Epiphanius of Salamis, Cyril of
 Jerusalem, John Chrysostom and Augustine. The paper deals with two textual
 disputes over the authenticity of the Septuagint text as the legitimate
 successor of the original Hebrew consonant text. Textual deviations were
 often a reason for such confrontations. The first dispute is between Julius
 Africanus and Origen. Within it, Origen clarifies textual issues of certain
 Old Testament books. Jerome and Augustine took part in the second dispute.
 Jerome leaned more towards the Hebrew truth (Hebraica Veritas), while
 Augustine put more stock into the translation of the Seventy. These
 confrontations clearly reflect the status of the Septuagint in the early
 Church. Finally, a concise review of the further status of the Septuagint in
 the Western and Eastern Churches is provided.
