Despite the profound influence of the New Testament, a variety of
questions related to its background and history remain common.
Contemporary readers often find the subject of the canon’s origin
and formation to be complicated and confusing, while scholars
continue to struggle to find agreement about basic elements of the
canon’s development. In this engaging study, Benjamin P. Laird
explores several misunderstood, disputed, and overlooked topics in
order to provide fresh insight and clarity about the canon’s
creation and modern relevance. The volume addresses questions such
as: Was there a single “original autograph” of each New
Testament writing? Who exactly were the “original readers” of
the New Testament writings? Did theological controversies play a
decisive role in prompting the canon’s formation? How did such a
diverse body of writings come together to form a single canonical
collection? Is there a basis for the canon’s ongoing authority?
Wide-ranging yet accessible, Creating the Canon offers an
illuminating treatment of the composition, formation, and authority
of the New Testament and serves as a valuable guide to those with
limited prior study.
