Full Description
The New Testament canon remains a major topic in scholarly research. This comprehensive volume provides a forum for scholars from varied backgrounds and perspectives to present major essays on the various dimensions of the topic. The essays are organized around three major foci: the formation of the canon, the components of the canon, and the witnesses of the canon, within which are several sub-sections. Following a treatment of various factors that prompted the formation of the New Testament canon, the subsequent sections include essays that present opposing views on various specific questions of current debate.
