Synopsis

This book examines the historical formation of the New Testament. It explains that, despite common belief, there was no universal collection of scriptures until well after Jesus' death. Instead, a body of writings grew out of sacred material over generations as the church developed and its priests began to mediate the words of God, eventually sanctioning authoritative writings and suppressing others. The author argues that the absence of a written canon did not stunt the growth of Christianity, but rather contributed to its creativity and resilience. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the New Testament, far from emerging through divine fiat, was a human creation that developed gradually and in response to specific historical and theological needs.
