How did the books of the Bible come to be recognized as Holy Scripture? After nearly nineteen centuries the canon of Scripture remains an issue of debate. Adept in both Old and New Testament studies, F. F. Bruce brings the wisdom of a lifetime of reflection and biblical interpretation to bear in addressing the criteria of canonicity, the canon within the canon, and canonical criticism.
"The object of this work is to demonstrate, from the Word of God and from history, the exclusive right of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament, and of the twenty-seven books of the New, to a place in the list of inspired writings. This right is called thir canonicity. We shall first establish it from history, as regards the New Testament; and then establish it by doctrinal evidence, as regards the whole Bible" -- Page 1.
