The Jewish “Council” of Jamnia and the Old Testament Canon: A Biblical Studies Monograph

By Dr. Timothy Gordon

This biblical studies monograph is about the Jewish "Council" of Jamnia and its impact on the Old Testament canon and New Testament studies. In this introductory section an historical background, purpose, and issues discussed at the council of Jamnia are reviewed. The main body of the paper examined the work of the "council" of Jamnia that is specifically relevant to New Testament and its corollary, the Old Testament canon. For the purpose of this paper, the name Jamnia was primarily used for consistency instead of the other place names for which Jamnia may be known such as Jabneh , Yavneh ( Yavne ), and Javneh . Additionally, the word "council" is enclosed in quotes because the resemblance is only superficial. Author: Tim Gordon, DMin, Ed.D, CMDR, USNR(RET)
