In this episode, I discuss:

* The different biblical texts discovered at Qumran

* The nature of “Scripture” during the Second Temple period

* The process of canonization and why “canon” can mean something different for Jews and for Christians

* The importance of interpretation for a “Scripturized” Bible

* And as a special bonus, learn about the Masoretes! (Who were they, and what did they do?)

As always, I look forward to your questions and comments!
