Response to advise request on canon
I am trying to learn more about the early Church(es), and the process of Canonization of the bible, but the only sources I'm finding seem to be very "academic" in that "the bible was written by man" way, rather than the presumption that the bible is indeed holy. What I'm looking for is a good history on how and why the various books of the bible were included in the canon, (Nicene Council), but from a true Christian point of view. Can anyone recommend any books or authors who deal with this area?--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 16:07, 3 November 2008 (EST)

: See [http://www.tektonics.org/lp/otcanon.html here] for the Old Testament and [http://www.tektonics.org/lp/ntcanon.html here] for the New Testament.

::If you wish to consider the POV that "canon" is a myth & an invalid concept (prophetic writings having been immediately received as God's Word by the "sheep" who know the Master's voice), try BibleAndTheology.com ([[User:Thunkful2|Thunkful2]] ([[User talk:Thunkful2|talk]]) 15:17, 12 February 2016 (EST))
