Why Not Prefer the Older Greek?

This week, Tommy and Peter take on a question submitted by a cherished listener: What is the origin of our Old Testament text in the English Bible? Does it come from the earlier Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (Septuagint/LXX), or the later, but more established text tradition (Masoretic Text)? What are the differences between the two? Why does it matter? Listen along as we cover these questions and more!
