Thank you for your interesting and thought-provoking presentation of
the Orthodox view. I was of course aware that my views were not
exactly those of the Orthodox tradition - and I am glad that you have
not tried to defend the LXX as authoritative. For practical purposes
we agree. Although I would personally go a little further in seeing
divine providence as well as fallible human care behind the
preservation of the MT, I am not sure now that "inspiration" is the
most helpful category for expressing this.
