"Timothy Lim offers a comprehensive exploration, wrestling with the ancient sources and modern scholars, deposing the old “early tripartite” consensus. His argument is intelligent, balanced, and non-polemical."—Eugene Ulrich, University of Notre Dame
“With great learning and great clarity, Timothy Lim studies the origins and significance of the canon of the Hebrew Bible. This book instantly becomes the point of departure for all future discussions of the subject.”—Shaye J.D. Cohen, Harvard University
"Timothy Lim has dispassionately examined one of the most intractable problems in biblical studies, with detailed attention to the ancient sources, and the result is a magnificent contribution to an increasingly lively field. All biblical scholars should read it.”—John Barton, University of Oxford
"In this cogently argued book, Timothy Lim’s important and fresh interpretations of all of the pivotal ancient texts are informed by his considerable knowledge of the relevant ancient languages and his advanced awareness of both canonical and non-canonical literature. An excellent volume!’’—Lee Martin McDonald, Acadia Divinity College, Nova Scotia
“Lim has written a disciplined, substantive study of the evidence from ancient texts regarding the development of a Jewish canon and the many modern publications about the topic. The result is a valuable, up-to-date addition to the literature on this fascinating subject.”—James VanderKam, University of Notre Dame
"Lim is a confident guide through the sources and the debates regarding the formation of the Jewish canon. In this essential and readable book, he deftly explores the problems of interpretation and recovery, cogently arguing for a persuasive yet nuanced position of his own."—Judith Lieu, University of Cambridge
“A valuable contribution to biblical scholarship”—Jay Michaelson, Forward
