A renowned expert on Hebrew scripture and a leading expert on the New Testament collaborated to write a new biography of the Book of Books in this illuminating book. Jewish and Christian scriptural histories, as well as the overlooked conflict between them, are reconstructed in this new biography. Recent research has challenged common perceptions of Israel's past, implying, for example, that the five books of the Torah were not written by Moses but rather during the reign of Josiah centuries later. The authors demonstrate how these and other texts traveled long and transformative paths to inclusion in the holy books. The New Testament, according to Konrad Schmid and Jens Schröter, did not emerge in response to an immutable Old Testament. Instead, the two developed in parallel, in conversation with one another, ensuring a continuing mutual influence of Jewish and Christian traditions. In fact, Schmid and Schröter contend that Judaism may not have survived had it not been reshaped in competition with early Christianity.  The Making of the Bible is a remarkable synthesis of the most recent Old and New Testament scholarship, offering the most comprehensive history of the world's most famous literature to date. It reveals its hidden teachings and mysteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 838g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 168 x 242 x 41 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780674248380\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Konrad Schmid,Jens Schroeter","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098283274490,"sku":"9780674248380","price":23.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7ab0d13f456ba21e5f78b6bd73b20883.jpg?v=1639711193","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/making-of-the-bible-from-the-first-fragments-to-sacred-scripture","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
