The liturgical and theological use and study of Scripture in the Orthodox world has slowly but steadily been gaining greater attention in the last twenty years. We have had a number of recent conferences and books on, e.g., the Septuagint; the uses of the Old Testament, including in Byzantium; and the uses and hermeneutics of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Now we have a new book out exploring Old Testament apocrypha in the Slavonic world:
Lorenzo DiTommaso and Christfried Bottrich, eds.,The Old Testament Apocrypha in the Slavonic Tradition: Continuity and Diversity (Mohr Siebeck, 2010, 500pp).
This is an international collection of over a dozen articles, some in German but most in English, exploring a variety of questions in East- and South-Slavic, Romanian, and related contexts.
