The Doctrine of Scripture (2) The Canonicity, Transmission & Translation of the Bible

Canonicity (pt 2) The Expansion of the Canon: New Testament Canonicity  What necessitates the expansion of the canon of Scripture?  the coming of Jesus the Messiah in fulfillment of the Scriptures (“new covenant”)  the need for an authoritative record and interpretation of Jesus’ coming

Canonicity (pt 2) Internal Evidences 1. Jesus  His teaching was authoritative like Scripture (Matt. 5:17-48; 7:29)  He anticipated authoritative teaching through the apostles (Matt. 28:20; John 14:26, 16:13)

Canonicity (pt 2) Internal Evidences 2. The Apostles  1 Corinthians 14:37  Galatians 1:6-12  2 Peter 3:1-2  2 Peter 3:16 – “the rest of Scripture”

Canonicity (pt 2) Key questions:  What was the test of canonicity? What was the principle that led to the selection of these books now in our NT?  How and when did this recognition come about?

Canonicity (pt 2) Inadequate View of NT Canonicity 1. “Process” of recognition  during the first 200 years of the church numerous letters/documents contended for recognition  as Christianity was legalized ( A.D. 313) the need for a recognized canon was essential Eusebius (330) produced 50 Bibles for Constantine Council of Carthage (397) – determined the canon

Canonicity (pt 2) Inadequate View of NT Canonicity 2. Criteria of Canonicity  authorship  orthodoxy  wide acceptance  evidence of inspiration

Canonicity (pt 2) Historic View of NT Canonicity 1. Only one criterion for canonicity  authorship – apostolic authority (apostolicity)  the apostles, including Paul, were appointed by Christ and recognized as His authoritative spokesmen

Canonicity (pt 2) Historic View of NT Canonicity 2. Process of production not recognition  the writings of the apostles were immediately received as authoritative and normative for the church  the NT canon is limited to the apostolic age – no divinely authoritative writings after the apostles

Canonicity (pt 2) Historic View of NT Canonicity 3. Historical recognition  church leaders and councils in the 4 th century did not established the canon; they simply vindicated what had been long since established  historical evidence shows that the NT canon was known and recognized before A.D. 150
