Showing results for "The Canon" in Christianity

These emotional tyrannies manifest themselves in local libraries, HR cubicles, elder meetings, and at your Thanksgiving dinners.

Some questions about the New Testament canon are far from settled, either in the academy or the church—to say nothing of misconceptions and confusion. This is a crucial topic, given the importance of the canon's formation for our understanding of early Christianity and the nature of the Christian faith itself. In Creating the Canon, Benjamin P. Laird explores misunderstood, disputed, and overlooked matters tied to the composition, collection, and authority of the New Testament canon.

“Welcome to Canons and Confessions. Here you will find audio recordings of three classical theological documents: the Heidelberg catechism, the Canons of Dort and the Belgic Confession, often referred to as the three forms of unity within the Christian Reformed Church in North America. These recordings are to make it easier for you to study theology, and God’s word, asking and receiving answers to timeless questions. Every recording is of an individual Lord’s day, which includes several related questions and answers.

Did the New Testament canon arise naturally from within the early Christian faith? Were the books written as Scripture, or did they become Scripture? Why did early Christians have a canon at all? These are the types of questions that led Michael J. Kruger to pick apart modern scholarship's dominant view that the New Testament is a late creation of the church imposed on books originally written for another purpose. 

This channel, “Crash Canon”, is hosted by a Catholic named Chris. It is intended to be a place for discussions about the faith as well as a channel to help educate people about various subjects related to the faith.

The enduring influence of the New Testament does not lessen the dispute over the events and factors leading to its adoption. Five Views on the New Testament Canon presents five distinct ways of understanding how the New Testament came to be. Each contributor addresses historical, theological, and hermeneutical questions related to the New Testament canon. Contributors also include a chapter each responding to the other views presented in the volume.

Every day, you can receive the audio recording of one article from the Canons of Dort, using the translation published by CRC Publications in 1988. This is a great way to learn the truths expressed in this Reformation document, or to work on memorizing these articles focused on the Doctrines of Grace. We also hope this can be a tool to help introduce children to the Canons of Dort and to help instruct them in these biblical doctrines.

Best Selling Author N. D. Wilson and Editor Brian Kohl host the Stories Are Soul Food podcast! The podcast that helps feed the right kind of loyalties and shape affection for the first and the greatest Author, Jesus Christ.

The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the ...

Douglas Wilson is an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian (pretty much in that order) and is politically to the right of Jeb Stuart.

The New Testament is the second major division of the Bible, the Word of God. It deals primarily with the spread of Christianity around the world. How did this part of the Bible come to be written and how should we interpret it? Dr. David Williams, associate professor and chair of the Department of Theology at Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte, North Carolina, explores these questions, and many like them.
