Recent scholarship on the history of the biblical canons has
increasingly recognised that the Jewish and Christian Bibles were
not formed independently of each other but amid controversial
debate and competition. But what does it mean that the formation of
the Christian Bible cannot be separated from the developments that
led to the Jewish Bible? The articles in this collection start with
the assumption that the authorization of writings had already begun
in Israel and Judaism before the emergence of Christianity and was
continued in the first centuries CE by Judaism and Christianity in
their respective ways. They deal with a broad range of sources,
such as writings which came to be part of the Hebrew Bible,
literature from Qumran, the Septuagint, or early Jewish
apocalypses. At the same time they deal, for example, with
structures of authorization related to New Testament writings,
examine the role of authoritative texts in so-called Gnostic
schools, and discuss the authority of late antique apocryphal
literature.
