About this book
The Canon of Scripture is F. F. Bruce’s historical study of how the books of the Bible came to be recognized as Holy Scripture. IVP Academic published it in 1988 as a 349-page hardcover.
Bruce answers questions such as who decided the shape of the canon and what criteria influenced those decisions. The publisher frames the study against ongoing debate. Protestants, Catholics and the Orthodox have slightly differing collections of documents in their Bibles, and Martin Luther questioned the inclusion of the book of James. Research into second-century Gnostic texts has also led some to argue that politics shaped the canon.
The publisher notes that some issues have shifted since the book first appeared and presents it as a touchstone for further studies.
