He claimed that Jesus and the apostles never quoted the Septuagint (LXX). He contradicts significant textual and historical evidence.
Denying the Septuagint’s role in the NT is not just "stubborn"—it disregards the lived reality of early Christianity. Jesus and the apostles operated in a world where the LXX was the Bible for millions of Jews and Gentiles. Recognizing this enriches our understanding of how Scripture was transmitted and how the early Church saw itself as the fulfillment of God’s promises. As Augustine noted, God’s truth transcends textual variations—whether in Hebrew, Greek, or Latin.
