Bible Books List
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Who first suggested the 1st list of New Testament books in the Bible?
I’m thinking it was either Jerome or Marcion…
They threw out the OT in the process, though, and I believe were labeled a heretic…
Any help?
In 144, Marcion proposed a reform of Christianity for which the church leaders expelled him merely for suggesting: that the OT was contradictory and barbaric and that the true Gospel was not at all Jewish, but that Jewish ideas had been imported into NT texts by interpolators, and only Paul’s teachings are true. Moreover, he rejected the idea that Jesus was flesh, and the idea of Hell. But what is significant for us is that this implies a recognition of “texts” as being authoritative (M 90-4). Expelled, Marcion started his own church and was the first to clearly establish a canon, consisting of ten of the Epistles and one Gospel, which Tertullian decades later identified as the Gospel of Luke, though stripped of “unacceptable features” such as the nativity, OT references, etc.
In the absence of any official list of the canonical writings, Eusebius finds it simplest to count the votes of his witnesses, and by this means to classify all the writings into four categories: See last link under source below.
