Hi Jonathan,

My question is what was the process for deciding the canon of the OT scriptures. I have heard that some Jews only revered the 5 books of Moses while others trusted that the histories, wisdom poetry and prophets were also scripture. How do we know who to trust on this? How did they decide what was included and how can we be confident they were right?

Looking forward to your answer.

All the best,

Cliff
