“A landmark…If you have time to read only one book on the Bible
this year, make sure that it is this one.”—Katherine J. Dell,
Church Times “Excellent…With a sure touch, the authors lead the
reader through the geopolitical context of the Hebrew Bible and the
setting and background of the New Testament, finding something to
say about practically every book’s origins and
development.”—John Barton, The Tablet “A remarkable deep dive
into foundational books whose origins are often taken for
granted.”—Publishers Weekly In this revelatory account of the
making of the foundational text of western civilization, a
world-renowned scholar of the Hebrew scriptures joins a noted
authority on the New Testament to reconstruct Jewish and Christian
scriptural histories and reveal the underappreciated contest
between them. The New Testament, they show, did not develop in the
wake of an Old Testament set in stone. The two evolved in parallel,
often in conversation with each other, ensuring a continuing mutual
influence of Jewish and Christian traditions. A remarkable
synthesis of the latest Old and New Testament scholarship, The
Making of the Bible is the most comprehensive history yet of the
long, transformative journeys of these texts on route to inclusion
in the holy books, revealing their buried lessons and secrets.
