120.3 The Septuagint: A Corruption or the Original Text

July 14, 2023 - 26 min

Transcript URL: https://share.descript.com/view/ahzMpx5Oq3mWelcome to the third episode of the Septuagint series on History of the Papacy podcast. We are joined by Garry Stevens host of The History in the Bible Podcast (historyinthebible.net). In this episode, we'll be exploring the intricacies of translation and the role of different languages in the process. As we know, the Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, which was done around the 3rd century BCE. The story goes that 72 Jewish scholars were tasked with translating the Torah into Greek, and miraculously, all of their translations were identical. But why did the Jews even need a Greek translation of their holy texts? The answer lies in the historical context of the time. After the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek became the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean, and many Jews who lived outside of Judea found themselves more comfortable speaking Greek than Hebrew. Furthermore, the Greek language had a particular richness and flexibility that allowed for better expression of certain Jewish concepts. Overall, the Septuagint is a testament to the power of translation and the way that language can shape our understanding of the world. In the next episode of our series, we'll explore the impact that the Septuagint had on early Christian theology.

The Separation of Crime and Church?

June 16, 2023 - 53 min

Transcript URL: https://share.descript.com/view/r8haLwiepXaIn today’s episode, we have a collaboration between the History of the Papacy and Organized Crime and Punishment Podcasts. We will discuss the complex relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and organized crime in southern Italy and the United States, focusing on the mafia groups such as La Cosa Nostra in Sicily, the Camorra in the Campania region, the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria and the 5 Mafia Families of New York City. Despite the Catholic Church's opposition to secret societies, the mafia organizations have shown a unique affinity for the church and its practices. While these criminal groups may be seen as at odds with Catholicism, they often identify as Catholic and maintain strong ties to the church. The discussion also touches upon the broader concept of the separation of church and state, noting that in many parts of the world, including Italy, the fusion of religion and governance is more prevalent.
