Septuagint Quotes

I realized, after studying much previous research on the question [of Jesus], that virtually every story in the gospels and Acts can be shown to be very likely a Christian rewrite of material from the Septuagint, Homer, Euripides' Bacchae, and Josephus. ...A literary origin is always to be preferred to an historical one in such a case.

If he existed, he is forever lost behind the stained glass curtain of holy myth. At least that's the current state of the evidence as I see it. (Robert M. Price)
