Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. An exploration of the religious and philosophical forces that shaped the creation of the New Testament, revealing the gradual emergence of a closed canon and examining the reasons for the exclusion of certain books. The author argues that the formation of the New Testament was not a straightforward process, but rather a complex interplay of theological, ecclesiastical, and political factors. The book delves into the early Christian belief in a continuing stream of revelation, the rise of a speculative approach to Scripture, and the role of episcopal authority in determining which books were deemed authoritative. Through meticulous analysis of patristic literature, the author sheds light on the criteria used for inclusion and exclusion, highlighting the tension between those who sought a universal inspiration of believers and those who advocated the confinement of inspiration to the bishops. This book contributes to our understanding of the historical development of Christianity, offering valuable insights into the formation of its foundational text.
