Bible and Canon: A Modern Historical Inquiry - Studia Semitica Neerlandica 50 | Religious Studies, Theology Research & Academic Scholarship | Perfect for Seminary Students, Biblical Scholars & Church Historians

Product Description

This new historical study begins with the earliest stages of the process of forming the canon rather than its final stages as most studies do. It shows how the canon, in essence, was already formed in the early stages of its historical development. It is essentially, synchronically, an authoritative unification of a range of traditions within the faith community, and diachronically, the guide that draws the dynamics of these traditions beyond their discontinuities to produce a continuity.
