Comparative canon and reception research broadens across Jewish and Christian traditions

Jubilees, 1 Enoch, Sirach, Talmudic methodology, early Christian authors, early English Bibles, and Indigenous translation projects support study of canon formation, interpretation, transmission, and biblical afterlives. Potential case studies on the reception of 1 Samuel 3 and the Dead Sea/Sodom association in art and pilgrimage still require full texts to assess their scholarship. The Testimonium Flavianum remains disputed.
