Canon

“I only have to assume is referring to Constantine and the Council of Nicaea. But there are some truly serious problems with this.” - Wes Huff

“Gavin Ortlund discusses the Protestant canon with ‪@javierperd2604‬ and ‪@CleavetoAntiquity‬, considering Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox objections, the testimony of church history, and more.” - Truth Unites

“Gavin Ortlund addresses Cameron Bertuzzi’s question at ‪@CapturingChristianity‬ about how we know the New Testament canon.” - YouTube

“The profound message of Ecclesiastes is needed today more than ever. Yet much recent evangelical scholarship has accepted and assumed critical views of Qoheleth the speaker and his speech, rendering almost the entire book practically useless to Bible teachers and preachers.” - Themelios

“There is no historical basis for the idea that Nicaea established the canon and created the Bible. The Biblical Canon Lists from Early Christianity and other early evidence show that Christians disputed the boundaries of the biblical canon before and after Nicaea.” - TGC

Michael Kruger: Back in March of this year, I sat down with Bill Mounce for about three hours to discuss the origins and authority of the New Testament canon … We covered all sorts of topics like the definition of canon, canonical models, the self-authenticating nature of canon, and the development of the canon in early Christianity.

Michael Kruger: One of the most common misconceptions about the New Testament canon is that the authors of these writings had no idea that they were writing Scripture-like books.

Michael Kruger: Although most discussions about the development of the canon focus on the patristic period (second century and later), there is much canonical gold yet to mine from the pages of the New Testament itself.
