Język Septuaginty i jego wpływ na autora trzeciej Ewangelii

Abstract

The article deals with issues concerning language and style of LXX and its impact on the New Testament writings and especially on Luke-Acts. Even though establishing of septuagintal text is a very problematical matter, one should view the collection of Greek OT books as a common and relatively homogenous tradition having its own language and style. The language of LXX is apparently present in Luke-Acts on four levels: terminology, phraseology, syntax and style. This is valid not only for special stories as the infant narratives but for the general bulk of lucan work as well. Luke seems to deliberately work on the text to make it alike septuagintal traditions in order to show to the reader that both OT and NT writings belong to the same divine history of salvation.
