| Summary: | Introduction: From early fragments to sacred scripture -- The Jewish and Christian bibles -- Written culture and literary production in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah -- Emerging Judaism and biblical texts of the Babylonian and Persian periods -- Texts and the use of scripture in Judaism of the Hellenistic and Roman periods -- The texts of ancient Judaism in early Christianity -- The formation of the Christian Bible and the emergence of other literature in the Christian tradition -- The making of the Jewish Bible and the creation of the Mishnah and the Talmud -- The impact of the Jewish and Christian bibles. "The Bible is full of ancient texts long predating the assembly of Judaism's and Christianity's sacred books. Why these texts, and how were they transformed on the journey from folk tale to holy writ? Konrad Schmid and Jens Schröter unearth the history, in the process overturning assumptions about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments"-- |
