To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Septuagint Version of the Old Testament was made two or three centuries before the Gospels were written. This interval was a period of constant and rapid development. Theological nomenclature moved forward with the movement of the ages. Terms wholly unknown at the beginning of this APPENDIX II. 283 period were in everybody's mouth at the end. A modem parallel may help us to appreciate the force of this consideration. Who would attempt to restrict the interpretation of philosophical and scie...ntific terms current in the Victorian era by the diction of the Elizabethan? The fact therefore — if fact it were — that this designation of Satan was unknown to the Jews in the age of the earlier Ptolemies, would not afford even a presumption that it was still unfamiliar to them in the age of Augustus and Tiberius. But what grounds have we for assuming it to be a fact f What reason is there for the expectation that the translators, if they had been ever so familiar with the term, would have introduced it into their version ?
