Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author explores the evolution of the concept of "canon" in the early Christian church, particularly the Catholic Church. The author traces the development of the idea from before the time of Christ in Jewish tradition, through the early centuries of the Christian era. While the concept was originally used to denote a standard or "measuring rod," it came to be applied to the body of sacred texts recognized by the early church as authoritative. This book provides a comprehensive history of the development of the Christian canon, examining the debates, controversies, and decisions that shaped its formation. The author offers a nuanced understanding of the complex process by which the canon was established, shedding light on the fundamental principles that guided the early church in determining the boundaries of its sacred texts. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, and for anyone interested in the history of the Bible and the development of Christian thought.
