Synopsis
Discover how the New Testament came to be accepted as sacred scripture.
This study looks at the early church, its debates, and the forces that shaped a closed canon.
From the rise of church authority to the clash between prophets and bishops, the book traces how Christians in the second century faced new ideas, internal dissent, and the push to define what counts as authoritative teaching. It examines figures like Marcion, Clement, and Origen, and shows how canon formation grew from practical needs, debates over inspiration, and the church’s struggle to balance faith with tradition.

- Explore how early Christians balanced personal belief with institutional authority
