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

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.

This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh cross-disciplinary approach to the current discussion on the Christian canon formation process. By carefully integrating historical, hermeneutical and theological aspects to account for the emergence of the canon, it seeks to offer a more comprehensive picture of the canon development than has previously been achieved. The formation and continuous usage of the Christian biblical canon is here viewed as an act of literary preservation and actualization of the church's apostolic normative tradition - 'the Scriptures and the Lord' - addressing, first of all, the church, but also the wider society. In order to grasp the complex phenomenon of the biblical canon, the study is divided into four parts, focusing respectively on linguistic and effective-historical, textual and material, performative, and ideational aspects of the canon. Attention is given to the scribal nomina sacra convention, the codex format, oral and written Gospel, early Christian liturgical praxis and the Rule of Faith. Bokedal argues that the canon was formed in a process, with its own particular intention, history, and direction. Throughout the study, history and theology, past and present are considered alongside each other. By using a Gadamerian hermeneutics of tradition, the reader's attention is directed to historical dimensions of the canon and its interpretative possibilities for our time. The notion of effective history (Wirkungsgeschichte), as well as the interaction between text, community and reader are crucial to the argument. The canonical text as text, its interpretation and ritual contextualization are highlighted as unifying elements for the communities being addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to speak of a "canon" of scripture? How, when, and where did the canon of the Hebrew Bible come into existence? Why does it have three divisions? What canon was in use among the Jews of the Hellenistic diaspora? At Qumran? In Roman Palestine? Among the rabbis? What Bible did Jesus and his disciples know and use? How was the New Testament canon formed and closed? What role was played by Marcion? By gnostics? By the church fathers? What did the early church make of the apocrypha and pseudepigrapha? By what criteria have questions of canonicity been decided? Are these past decisions still meaningful faith communities today? Are they open to revision? These and other debated questions are addressed by an international roster of outstanding experts on early Judaism and early Christianity, writing from diverse affiliations and perspectives, who present the history of discussion and offer their own assessments of the current status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian church had a variety of Scriptures and other source material that informed their faith and shaped their thinking. But after a few centuries the church decided to keep the twenty-seven books of our present New Testament and to treat them as a canonical in faith and practice. But what of the other books? Many of them have survived and remain valuable for understanding the diversity of the early Christian church and the astounding claims of faith on which it was founded. Learning about these ancient documents need not threaten the church's current orthodoxy and authority; in fact, learning about these texts can help today's Christians form a deeper understanding of the early church.
