Historical evidence suggests the Jews were actively hostile to the Christians, as described in the book of Acts. (Acts 13:43-50; 14:1-5,19; 19:33) Moreover, it has been suggested that the Hebrew canon was restricted in an attempt to remove support for the Messiahship of Jesus.[1] Justin Martyr argues forcefully that the Jews artificially truncated their canon of Scripture to eliminate passages that demonstrate that Jesus was the promised Messiah.[2] This process was once thought to have begun with the school of Jewish law founded by Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai in the city of Jamnia. Late 19th to mid-20th biblical scholarship suggested the existence of a Council of Jamnia which decided on a definitive Jewish canon. <br />In his book The Canon of Scripture, F.F. Bruce describes the makeup and work of the Council of Jamnia;[3] however, it is no longer certain that such a council took place. The myth of Jamnia appears to have been created by a single Jewish Historian, Heinrich Graetz, who presented his "novel thesis", yet provided no evidence whatsoever.[4] Therefore, Protestant appeals to a Council of Jamnia as support for their truncated canon of Scripture are unsupported and invalid.<br /><br />[1] For example, Baruch 3 can be interpreted as supporting the identification of Wisdom with Christ, especially as regards the Incarnation.<br />[2] Schaff, Philip. 1884.
