Synopsis

This book is a detailed and scholarly study of the inclusion of various ancient books in the canon of the Old and New Testaments, examining the inclusion and exclusion of these scriptures over time. The author, who was both a priest and theologian, draws on considerable research to demonstrate how the concept of a defined canon of scripture emerged in the early church. The work offers an in-depth look at the deliberations of various councils through the years, and demonstrates how those decisions both reflected and shaped the prevailing beliefs of Christianity at the time. The author concludes by extrapolating the implications of this work for the present day.
