Reviews

This book provides a fresh and comprehensive view of the making of the biblical canon, Jewish and Christian, and of the Talmud. The authors stress the sociopolitical motivations behind the canonic process and discuss the main events in this process from 1250 B.C.E. to 550 C.E. Synthesis, broad overview, and comparisons between Jewish and Christian canonic processes and interpretations make this book useful for a wide variety of readers. Highly recommended.
