Before the Bible argues that a key to understanding the formation of scripture is the widespread practice of individual and communal prayer in early Judaism. Newman demonstrates that scriptures were formed because of the intertwined relationship of worship practices, learned sages who interpreted scripture, and the ongoing performance of scriptural tradition.
