The canon of the Hebrew Bible was defined, if
not yet finally closed, by the end of the first century CE. The Pharisaic canon
became the canon of Rabbinic Judaism, because the majority of those who
re-founded the Jewish religion after the destruction of the Temple by the
Romans were Pharisees. The process that led to this canonization needs to be
explored. How should we think about the books that were eventually included in
the canon? Unlike the early church, ancient Jewish communities did not have a
central authority that defined the books of the canon. The formation of the
Jewish canon was not prescribed by the priests of the Temple of Jerusalem, it
emerged from the bottom-up with each community holding to its own collection of
authoritative texts. See pictures and read article at -- http://www.asor.org/anetoday/2018/04/The-Canonical-Process-Reconsidered
