New LXX in a Year for 2017?

[Neill]

Anyone heading this up?

I believe Russell Beatty and some others are doing Minor Prophets LXX in 2017--I'll see if I can point him to this thread!

That sounds fun.

I know this isn't LXX, but when this came up earlier this year after we kicked around a few ideas I posted a reading plan for Luke, Hebrews and 2Corinthians to the exchange : http://www.accordancefiles1.com/exchange/downloads/LukeHeb2CorNA.zip. It's aimed at providing increasingly difficult material as the year progresses. It's what I plan to use from Jan 1 onwards.

Wait, so 2Corinthians is deemed more difficult than Hebrews? 

[Λύχνις Δαν]

Well I'm told more classical which will probably equate to more alien, thus to more difficult. Here's the thread where it was discussed https://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/19112-is-this-still-going/. Thankfully the GNT syntax charts are now complete.

We're doing the Minor Prophets and Daniel in 2017.  I have a reading plan.  I'm interested in the whole LXX in a year.  Has anyone developed a reading plan for that?

Here's the FB page for the reading group.  I'll change the name before year's end.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/724259411041009/

LXX in a year is ambitious! Even reading the OT in English (or whatever one's native language is) in a year is a time commitment. Kudos.

[Russell Beatty]

Yeah, it's probably way too much.  It would probably take 3 chapters per day to read it in a year.

Nonetheless I think it's a great goal to raise one's Greek to such a level as to make it possible.

 

Thx

Daniel, I agree about 2 Corinthians, by the way--I think the Greek there is some of the hardest (if not the hardest) in the GNT. It is all the more difficult due to the content of the letter itself--which is a challenge to work through even in my native tongue!

So the last couple of months of the reading plan are going to be interesting then - eeek!
