In The Oracles of God:The Old Testament Canon, [8] Steinmann reviewed the evidence for the history of the compilation and organization of the Hebrew Bible. [9] Among his major conclusions were that the canon existed as a collection from before the time of Christ,that it was originally considered to be a collection of authoritative and divinely inspired books kept in the temple in Jerusalem,and that the later Jewish and Christian organizations of the canon were developments from a more simple two-part organization of Law (Pentateuch) and Prophets.
Steinmann has also published several works relating to chronology of the Bible,especially From Abraham to Paul:A Biblical Chronology. [10] He has challenged the consensus on the date of the death of Herod the Great,arguing that Herod died in 1 BC (Steinmann,Andrew. "When Did Herod the Great Reign?",Novum Testamentum,Volume 51,Number 1,2009,pp. 1–29). With Rodger Young he has also argued that the source of the information on the Parian Chronicle was most likely the city records of Athens. [11]
