Jesus' Bible: A Concise History of the Hebrew Scriptures: 2nd printing, with minor revisions - Paperback

by Christopher Dost (Author)

Jesus' Bible explores the development of the Hebrew Scriptures from their prehistory all the way to the period of their crystallization in the Middle Ages. Drawing upon Christian, Jewish, and non-confessional scholarship, Christopher Dost demonstrates that the Hebrew Bible underwent radical growth and development over a period of approximately two thousand years, and that the "Bible" of Jesus' day was strikingly different from what believers often assume it to have been.
