I remember reading in Bavinck somewhere where he argued that in a few places the NT authors did not follow the LXX. Can anyone point me to some examples?

I would say between Matthew and Revelation, inclusive. If you mean where the NT authors did not rely on the LXX reading when it contradicted the Hebrew MT. We've had some discussion on this here: http://www.puritanboard.com/f63/lxx-discussion-54112/ and http://www.puritanboard.com/f63/do-nt-authors-quote-lxx-55489/. It's an interesting topic. I'd be interested in what you have to say, Jacob, being among EO folks a good while.

They usually say stuff like, "We use the LXX, which is what Jesus used. The MT was edited by Christ-haters, so Protestants have a Christ-hating bible."
Stuff like that.
Ironically, though, the Orthodox Study Bible uses the NKJV.
The new Orthodox Study Bible contains the entire Old Testament of the Orthodox Church, including the "Deuterocanonical" books. Although based on the New King James Version, it offers a fresh translation from the Greek text of the Septuagint.

Actually, brother, from orthodoxstudybible.com:
The new Orthodox Study Bible contains the entire Old Testament of the Orthodox Church, including the "Deuterocanonical" books. Although based on the New King James Version, it offers a fresh translation from the Greek text of the Septuagint.
The New Testament text, however, is the NKJV NT.
