Overview

How did the New Testament come to be?

The writings that comprise the New Testament are critical for understanding the life, teachings, and impact of Jesus of Nazareth, all of which are central to Christianity. But how were these texts circulated, collected, and given their canonical status? Is the New Testament a trustworthy source for learning about Jesus and the early church?

New Testament scholars L. Scott Kellum and Charles L. Quarles address the most pressing questions regarding the study of New Testament texts, their transmission, and their collection into the canon, such as:

• What happened to the original manuscripts of the New Testament?
• With all the variants, can we still speak of inspiration and inerrancy?
• What are the competing views on canon?
• Did the apostles recognize contemporaneous books as Scripture?
• Did the early councils decide the canon?

40 Questions about the Text and Canon of the New Testament uses a question-and-answer format so readers can pursue the issues that interest them most.
