Abstract
The translation of the Holy Scripture into contemporary Greek has been a particularly complicated matter, for, in addition to the overall theological parameters, there are also implications which arise out of the historical and cultural conditions under which the self-consciousness of Orthodoxy was formed in Greece. This article examines the impact of biblical translation on the formation of Greek national identity, which brings to light a serious issue: Greek Orthodoxy is dealing with a dilemma almost as tragic as that which Judaism faced during the first century AD. It will either open itself to the world by working on the potentialities that arise from its own faith, tradition and Scriptures, or turn in on itself in an agonising effort at self-protection.
