The formation and significance of the Christian biblical canon
A Study in Text, Ritual and Interpretation
Book • 2014
Tomas Bokedal's 'The Formation and Significance of the Christian Biblical Canon' investigates the complex processes through which the Christian biblical canon was formed and the significance of this formation.
The study examines the textual, ritual, and interpretative dimensions of the canon's development.
It looks at the ways in which early Christian communities used and understood the texts that would eventually become part of the New Testament.
Bokedal analyzes the role of various factors, such as liturgical practices, theological debates, and social contexts, in shaping the canon.
He argues that the canon was not simply a collection of texts but a dynamic and evolving entity that reflected the beliefs and practices of the early church.
