Timothy H. Lim examines the complex process of how the Hebrew Bible transitioned from a fluid collection of texts into a fixed, authoritative canon. By analyzing the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient evidence, the author challenges traditional narratives regarding the timing and mechanisms of biblical standardization. This study provides a rigorous scholarly framework for understanding the historical development of Jewish scripture during the Second Temple period.
