$10.00

A look at how the New Testament came into being and was accepted as the authoritative Word of God by the early church.

By Chuck Gianotti

By Chuck Gianotti

The foundation of Christian faith rests on the documents of the Bible, particularly the New Testament writings. In fact, Christian belief rises or falls on the historical credibility of those documents. Are they historically plausible? Are they authoritative? How did the early Christians identify which books were inspired by God and which were not? How do we know they were right?

This book reduces the vast amount of information on this topic into an accessible and readable form for the non-scholar. The goal is to show the credibility and reliability of the New Testament documents.

“Theologian J. I. Packer was right when he said: ‘The problem of authority is the most fundamental problem that the Christian church ever faces.’ Understanding the process, standards, and history of canonization strengthens one’s confidence in the authority of the Scriptures and equips one to defend it. The Formation of the New Testament is carefully researched, well written, and helpfully indeed. Chuck Gianotti gives us a useful tool for students, parents, and Bible teachers, as well as for those examining the Christian faith.” Dr. Bill McRae, President Emeritus, Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto (taken from the forward to the book).

In The Formation of the New Testament, Chuck Gianotti brings to light important developments in the history of the New Testament canon of Scripture.  This handbook will be of interest and benefit for anyone who wants to know how the New Testament came to be.  Elders, pastors, church leaders and committed believers will do well to give this a careful read. Dr. Theron Young, Lecturer in Bible and Biblical languages, Australian College of Christian Studies in Sydney
