How sacred books became sacred: a historical look at the Old Testament canon

This scholarly work traces how Jewish and Christian communities identified which writings belonged to the sacred collection. It examines debates, practices, and the evolving sense of authority that shaped the Hebrew Bible and its later Christian reception. The author guides readers through historical evidence, showing why some books were read in certain communities and how definitions of canonicity differed over time. The discussion includes how public reading, temple and synagogue traditions, and rabbinic or church authorities influenced what counted as scripture.

Why the idea of canon emerged differently in Jewish and early Christian circles
How public reading and ritual use affected views of certain texts
Key figures, councils, and traditions that shaped the recognition of sacred writings
Spectrums of authority and how canonicity was debated and recorded

Ideal for readers of religious history and biblical studies who want a clear, evidence-based look at how sacred books came to be regarded as authoritative.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

In publishing this investigation of the origin of the Canon of the Old Testament the author hopes in some measure to supply a lack. Of course, a great deal has been written about the Canon, as may be seen from the literature at the end of St racks article, Kanon in Herzogs Real-E ncyclopaedie 2ed. VII. p. 45 f, and every ivork on Introduction has something on the subject. To name onlv the best of much that is good, I refer to the close of the third part of Prof. Kuenen s Historisch Kritisch Onderzoek naar het Outstaan en de Verzameling van de Boeken des Ouden Verbonds, Leiden, 186, III. p294 450. What is there given is almost absolutely complete, and it is needless to say that all the material has been subjected to most thorough criticism. I have felt constrained, however, to offer something additional and something of a different kind. Something additional; because, naturally, a quarter of a century after Kuenens excellent work, there is somewhat more to be said. But my purpose was, also, to publish a work of somewhat different character. I do not refer here to more or less considerable diferences of opinion, but to the different plan of the work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This meticulously researched book presents the historical development of the Old Testament canon, a collection of sacred Jewish texts. By carefully examining the historical evidence, the author reveals that the canon was not the work of a single person or council but rather the culmination of a gradual process. The author explores the differences between the three main sections of the canon (the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings) and demonstrates how these distinctions arose over time. The book also challenges the traditional view that the canon was established by Ezra and the Men of the Great Synagogue, providing a more nuanced understanding of its origins. By delving into the historical context, the author sheds light on the complex formation of the Old Testament canon, offering valuable insights for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and significance of this foundational religious text. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331750864_0
