The Canon of Holy Scripture

A popular analysis of the reception and collection of the books of the Bible in the Christian Church. This book aims to present, in a simple yet complete and documented way, the history of the canon of Sacred Scripture. 

 

The analysis is essentially historical, though theological aspects are not overlooked. The Bible can be treated historically or theologically, but neither treatment is complete in itself; on the contrary, they are inseparable.

 

Brooke Foss Westcott, professor of theology at Cambridge University in 1870, produced a comprehensive work that will be of great use to seminaries, pastors, and Bible students.

 

Starting from the antecedents, it covers the apostolic age, compiles the testimony of the Church Fathers, and delves into the dark ages of the Middle Ages up to the present day. The scholar will find here a true arsenal of historical and technical data on the Canon of the Bible.
