Formation Of The Bible

Product Description
Christians may well ask why we need to spend any time on the origin of the Bible; wouldn't it be better simply to read and use it to advance the mission of the church? What difference does a background study make now, and why are we focusing on the Bible of the early church?

Carefully researched and compellingly presented, Formation of the Bible: The Story of the Church's Canon, explains the history of the Christian Bible by tracing its development through history.

From the collection of the Hebrew Scriptures to the gathering of the New Testament letters, the story of how the Bible came to be is carried forward by McDonald's wealth of expertise and keen scholarship.
