Scriptural Canon Formation is the historical and theological process by which authoritative collections of sacred texts within Second Temple Judaism were identified, delimited, and established as normative, distinguishing them from extracanonical or apocryphal writings through intentional acts of communal recognition, scribal transmission, and religious legitimation.
