Hello there! I found it a fantastic omission that none of the external links to went to actual Scripture of the Hebrew and Christian Canons. By about year 350 A.D. the Christian church of various cities had produced an authoritative list of accepted books of the faith, roughly 66 books or 39 for the Law, Prophets, and Writings, and 26 for the Gospels and Letters. In the rowdy days before the destruction of Herod's Temple Saducees accepted only Moses five books, known as torah or Law, while the Pharisees accepted all the T-N-K. Modern Judaism inherits the oral tradition of the Pharisees, which disputes that Paul the Apostle of the Christian Church was a member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwildasi (talk • contribs) 10:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
