The Council of Jamnia was a time of consolidation in Jamnia following the destruction of Jerusalem and her Temple in A.D. 70, that lasted until about A.D. 90 and from which Rabbinic Judaism emerged. According to tradition, it owed much to the spiritual leadership of Yohanan ben Zakkai. Its significance is interpreted differently by Jewish scholars, Catholic scholars, and Protestant scholars. Christian scholars often describe the Old Testament as being formally codified at this meeting; but Jewish scholars usually state that the ...

Yohanan ben Zakkai was a Jewish sage of the first century of the common era, and a primary contributor to the core text of rabbinic Judaism, the Mishnah. He was an important sage in the era of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and after the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70 re-established the Sanhedrin in Jamnia (Jabneh/Javneh) during a time of consolidation that in the modern scholarly discussion is often, but arguably mistakenly, referred to as "The Council of Jamnia". The Mishnah offers no information on his birth or fam ...

The Bible (sometimes The Holy Bible, The Book, Good Book, Word of God, The Word, or Scripture), from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, "(the) books", is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book" (Gospel means " ...

The Biblical canon is an exclusive list of books written during the formative period of the Jewish or Christian faiths; the leaders of these communities believed these books to be inspired by God or to express the authoritative history of the relationship between God and his people (although there may have been secondary considerations as well). There are differences between Christians and Jews, as well as between different Christian traditions, over which books meet the standards for canonization. The different criteria for, and the process of, canonization for each community dictates what ...

In Judeo-Christian theology, the word apocrypha refers to texts that are not considered canonical, part of the Bible, but are of roughly similar style and age as the accepted canonical Scriptures. Catholic and Orthodox Christian Bibles typically contain several texts not included in the Biblical canon by other Christians or by Judaism, who see them as apocryphal. Catholics and Orthodox consider these texts equally canonical as other books of the Bible, with Catholics terming them deute ...

The Romans called it Iamnia. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakkai moved the Sanhedrin to Yavne. Shortly thereafter, the Council of Jamnia, from which Rabbinical Judaism emerged, met there. The infrastructure developed here enabled the continued existence of the Jewish people for nearly 2000 years. The crusaders called the site Ibelin, and built a castle there in 1141. The namesake Ibelin family was an important noble family in the Kingdom of Jerusalem and later in the Kingdom of Cyprus. Ibelin itself ...

In Judaism it is commonly thought that the canonical status of some books was discussed between 200 BC and AD 100, though it is unclear at what point during this period the Jewish canon was decided. Protestants cite the Old Testament canon defined by the Council of Jamnia in AD 90 as their basis for not including the Deuterocanonical books, where Roman Catholics assert that Jewish council was convened in reaction to the ri ...

See the main article on Apocrypha The Apocrypha are texts which are not considered part of the Biblical canon by a particular denomination, despite their resemblance to Biblical books in terms of form, content, etc. Some of these were still available in the libraries of the medieval period and survive until today, and many more were circulated before a number of Councils in the late 5th century mostly agreed on the currently recognized canon. While those were strictly speaking local councils with no universal jurisdiction, thei ...

The Lebanese scholar Kamal Salibi has written several books advocating the "Israel in Yemen" theory. In this view, the placenames of the Bible actually allude to places in Arabia, and were later reinterpreted to refer to places in Palestine when the Jews moved to Palestine after the Babylonian Exile; and the ancient Jews actually came from Yemen, on the Arabian peninsula. As far as this hypothesis goes, claims of this nature do not constitute a true Bible conspiracy theory. Such hypotheses would become a conspiracy theory if they addi ...

The Knights Templar, and their spin offs, the Teutonic Knights, were organized as a monastic order in the 12th century, following a rule created for them by Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Cistercian Order. The Templars were well-connected and quickly became prime movers in the international politics of the Crusades period, but were suppresed and dissolved in the early 14th century. Many conspiracy theories have emerged linking them to the supposed lost tea ...

According to the Latter-day Saints (LDS; see Mormonism), the Bible was incorrectly translated in several places, some of which differ from The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ and other new or newly-discovered revelations. Because of this belief, Joseph Smith re-translated some portions of the Bible, which are known as the Joseph Smith Translation (JST). Joseph Smith did not use ancient manuscripts to support these revisions, but rather translated by "revelation" or "inspiration." The Latter-day Saints currently use and publish an edi ...
