Some folks don't agree!

The Tanakh

The Jewish canon is called the TaNaKh, an acronym for the three parts of the their Bible:

The canonization of of the Jewish Bible happened after the crucifixion of Jesus and the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by Rome in 70 A.D. Before 70 A.D., Judaism was centered on the Temple and its rituals; after the Temple was gone, a new central focus had to be found-- the TaNaKh. Neither the Scriptural focus nor the exact form and order of the Jewish Bible were decided over night; "canonization" of TaNaKh was an ongoing process that extended until about 1000 A.D.
