The idea of a Cambridge History of the Bible originated within the University Press and was considered, approved and benevolently assisted through its early stages by a committee consisting of Professors M. D. Knowles and Norman Sykes. The two volumes of the original plan—The West from the Reformation to the Present Day and The West from the Fathers to the Reformation—have now appeared (1963 and 1969). This volume represents the logical extension back into the beginnings of the biblical literature and sets out to trace the essential features of the process by which the Bible as we know it came into being, and how it came to be canonised and interpreted under Judaism and in the early years of the Christian Church.
