Author of the following work, after studying in his native city of Copenhagen and also at Leipzig, was appointed ordinary Professor of Theology and Oriental Languages in the University of Copenhagen, and was transferred in 1890, on the death of Dr. Eranz Delitzsch, to occupy the place of that distinguished scholar in Leipzig. The Treatise now presented in an English dress is described by its Author as to some extent an enlarged translation of a Danish work, Den gammeltestamentlige Skriftoverlevering, which had appeared in 1885. In its original form it aimed at imparting information as to the ascertained results of modern researches with reference to the Canon and Text of the Old Testament. As expanded and recast in the German edition, the Author expresses the hope that it may prove useful to theological students. For the English edition Professor Buhl has supplied some additional references to the most recent literature, and at his request the Translator has called attention to a few of the most important contributions of British scholars which bear directly upon the subject of this work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the literary and historical background to the development of the Old Testament canon among both Jews and early Christians. It examines the debates and controversies that shaped the understanding of which biblical writings were considered sacred scripture and why. At its heart is the notion of a divine library, a collection of books handed down to instruct and inspire belief and practice. The author traces the gradual emergence of the Old Testament canon over many centuries, from the initial recognition of the Pentateuch in the 5th century BCE, to the inclusion of the literary prophets and, finally, to the writings that became known as the Hagiographa. The book highlights the significance of the decisions made by Jewish and Christian authorities in establishing the boundaries of the canon, and it sheds light on the complex theological and historical factors that influenced their choices. By doing so, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the development of religious thought and practice in the ancient world.
