Josephus"For we have not an
innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing
from and contradicting one another [as the Greeks have],
but only twenty-two books, which contain the records of all the past times; which are justly believed to be divine...
(Contra Apion 1:8).

Josephus"It is true, our history has
been written since Artaxerxes, very peculiarly,
but has not been esteemed of the like authority with the former by our forefathers,
because there has not been an exact succession of
prophets since that time." (Contra Apion 1:8).

reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that
the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every
good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
