About The Biblical Canon: Its Origin, Transmission, And Authority

This is the thoroughly updated and expanded third edition of the successful The Formation of the Christian Biblical Canon . It represents a fresh attempt to understand some of the many perplexing questions related to the origins and canonicity of the Bible. and “What is the origin of our Bible? Who chose the books to be included in our Bible? When were the last discussions on the contents of our Bible? How do we find God’s Word and what constitutes ‘the Bible’? Such questions are fascinating to many in western culture. L. M. McDonald is the premiere authority on all these crucial questions. He demonstrates that no early council defined or limited the canon. For Jews discussions of the canon continued long after Jamnia (in the first century CE) and into the sixth century. For many Christians the question of canon and its limits continue unabated. McDonald’s masterpiece is the place to begin exploring informed answers to all these questions. and “–Professor James H. Charlesworth, George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature and Director of the Princeton Seminary Dead Sea Scrolls Project Princeton Theological Seminary and “Lee McDonald’s magnum opus is the fair fruit of a lifetime’s labor. His is an updated and fluent historical reconstruction of the canonical process, marked by the careful consideration of the real evidence that encourages a more precise discussion of the history and idea of a Christian biblical canon. Not only does McDonald seek to understand the complex and variegated phenomena of canon formation within the social worlds of both Judaism and earliest Christianity, he is ever alert to the serious theological and hermeneutical questions his discussion engenders about the nature and role of Scripture within today’s faith community. While McDonald’s conclusions will surely be debated, no scholar or student interested in these important matters will be unable to neglect his fine book. and “–Rob Wall, Professor of the Christian Scriptures, Paul T. Walls Chair in Wesleyan Studies, Seattle Pacific University
