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).
