Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canon of the Bible: Its Formation, History, and Fluctuations The substance of the present work was written towards the close of the year 1875 for the new edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica." Having been abridged and mutilated, contrary to the author's wishes, before its publication there, he resolved to print it entire. With that view it has undergone repeated revision with enlargement in different parts, and been made as complete as the limits of an essay appeared to allow. As nothing of importance has been knowingly omitted, the writer hopes it will be found a comprehensive summary of all that concerns the formation and history of the Bible canon.

Footnotes "A most valuable preparation for larger study, and at the same time is quite sufficient for the ordinary layman who may feel an intelligent curiosity about the books presented to him by all the Churches as rules of life and conduct." - The Westminster Review, Volume 107, 1877 "Anyone who wishes to inform himself of what scholarship has accomplished in this department can now easily do this in the clear and perspicuous account which Dr. Davidson has given of the History of the Canon." -Athenanum "Manifestly deserving of praise for its brevity….Dr. Davidson has condensed a great deal of valuable matter into a small space, and has furnished his readers with an able and compendious summary of the results of much careful research." -The Theological review [ed. by C. Beard]., Volume 14, 1877 "A popular, but at the same time learned and thorough summary of all that concerns the formation of the Bible Canon. It digests and brings into a small compass the results of recent investigation both in England and on the Continent." -The Nineteenth Century, Volume 2, 1877 "The late date of the Babylonian Isaiah is affirmed by Dr. S. Davidson, a veteran theologian, in the new edition of his Canon of the Bible. This decision readers unversed in Biblical criticism will be a little disposed to accept; and if they are offended at a sentence that more than half deprives the Prophet of the vision and the faculty divine, they will be still more ready to take offense when they learn that Dr. Davidson not only denies the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, and refers the Book of Daniel to the Maccabean period, but pronounces thie epistles to the Ephesians, Timothy, and Titus post-Pauline, and boldly asserts that 'the Johannine authorship of the Fourth Gospel has receded before the tide of modern criticism.' The instructive and scholarly little work from which these unwelcome but, as we believe, unimpeachably sound conclusions are derived, was written towards the close of the year 1875, for the new edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Unabridged, enlarged, and revised, it will now, let us hope with the author, be accepted as a comprehensive summary of all that concerns the formation and history of the Bible Canon." -The Twentieth Century, Volume 8, 1880 "Of considerable intrinsic value, and is also of importance as a sign of the drift and method of the Biblical criticism of our day. It is intended to place before the general reader some of the principal facts, results, and, it must be added, uncertainties, with respect to the canon of Scripture, with which the most recent labours of scholars in Biblical literature have brought them face to fact. This is done with the conciseness, clearness, and fullness of knowledge which we should have expected from the learned and accomplished author, and with a candor and boldness which are unembittered by the tone of the mere iconoclast." -The Literary World, Volume 15, 1877
Download or read book Scripture in Its Historical Contexts written by James A. Sanders and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important collection of essays James A. Sanders offers his most significant work on the text and canon of the Hebrew Bible, along with his seminal studies of the Qumran Scrolls. He has been at the forefront of the study of canon formation, history of interpretation, and textual criticism, with specialty in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the use of the Old Testament in the New. These studies document the variety of textual traditions, as well as the diversity and unsettled, incipient state of the collection of sacred literature that was regarded as authoritative or canonical in the late Second Temple period. They laid the foundation on which today's scholarly discussion is focused.
Download or read book The Formation of the Biblical Canon Volume 2 written by Lee Martin McDonald and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lee Martin McDonald provides a magisterial overview of the development of the biblical canon --- the emergence of the list of individual texts that constitutes the Christian bible. In these two volumes -- in sum more than double the length of his previous works -- McDonald presents his most in-depth overview to date. McDonald shows students and researchers how the list of texts that constitute 'the bible' was once far more fluid than it is today and guides readers through the minefield of different texts, different versions, and the different lists of texts considered 'canonical' that abounded in antiquity. Questions of the origin and transmission of texts are introduced as well as consideration of innovations in the presentation of texts, collections of documents, archaeological finds and Church councils. In the first volume McDonald reexamines issues of canon formation once considered settled, and sets the range of texts that make up the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) in their broader context. Each indidvidual text is discussed, as are the cultural, political and historical situations surrounding them. This second volume considers the New Testament, and the range of so-called 'apocryphal' gospels that were written in early centuries, and used by many Christian groups before the canon was closed. Also included are comprehensive appendices which show various canon lists for both Old and New Testaments and for the bible as a whole.
Download or read book Canon and Canonicity written by Einar Thomassen and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authority of the Bible is one of the defining features of Christianity. However, the origins of the Biblical canon, both as an idea and as a composition still pose many unresolved questions and the nature of the bible's authority, including the many ways in which that authority has been tapped throughout history, are important and vast areas of investigation. The essays in this book discuss such crucial issues as the history of the formation of the biblical canon, examples of the canonisation of books in Antiquity outside Christianity, and the nature and function of canonical texts in general. Several essays, furthermore, deal with the numerous ways in which biblical canonicity has been construed and utilised in more recent European history. The essays, written by specialists in religious studies, ancient history, classical philology, church history and literary theory, should be of great interest to students, scholars and general readers concerned with scriptural and literary canon formation.

Download or read book The Canon of the New Testament written by Bruce M. Metzger and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1997-03-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides information from Church history concerning the recognition of the canonical status of the several books of the New Testament. Canonization was a long and gradual process of sifting among scores of gospels, epistles, and other books that enjoyed local and temporary authority - some of which have only recently come to light among the discoveries of Nag Hammadi. After discussing the external pressures that led to the fixing of the limits of the canon, the author gives sustained attention to Patristic evidence that bears on the development of the canon not only in the West but also among the Eastern Churches, including the Syrian, Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, and Ethiopian. Besides considering differences as to the sequence of the books in the New Testament, Dr Metzger takes up such questions as which form of text is to be regarded as canonical; whether the canon is open or closed; to what extent a canon should be sought within the canon; and whether the canon is a collection of authoritative books or an authoritative collection of books.
