Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the formation of the Old Testament scriptural canon: its ancient roots, texts, and interpretations. It examines the role of religious and cultural factors in the development of a collection of sacred writings, and traces the history of how these writings were preserved, treated, and canonized. Beginning with the ancient practices of sacred writing among the Hebrews and their neighbors, the author analyzes the various stages and processes involved in the formation of the canon. Historical documents, literary productions, and religious dogma are examined in their relation to the collection, and particular attention is paid to the unique role of the Pentateuch in this process. The author also delves into the history of the canon amidst changing religious and social contexts, from its first formation to its historical criticism in modern times. This examination includes the influence of the canon on Jewish and Christian thought, as well as how it was handled by different sects and communities. By investigating the concept of the canon as a dynamic and evolving entity, the book contributes to our understanding of the historical and theological development of the Old Testament. It sheds light on the complex interplay between religious authority, textual criticism, and the development of the canon, and provides a comprehensive overview of the history, formation, and significance of the Old Testament canon.
