This study shows how and why the Christian Bible was fashioned during two epochs of crisis and the first during the fifth to second centuries B.C.E. when the Hebrew scriptures were assembled; the second during the first and second centuries C.E. when these same scriptures were defended, supplemented, and reborn as the Bible of the church.
