(Monergism) Lengthy List of Online Sources on "Formation of the Canon"



http://www.monergism.com/directory/link_category/Bibliology/Formation-of-the-Canon/


The word “canon” originally meant “measuring rule,” hence “standard.” In theology its chief application is to those books received as authoritative and making up our Bible. Christians accept into their canon those books they believe to be immediately inspired by God and therefore true, infallible, and inerrant, the very Word of God. Creeds of the Reformation age often listed the books accepted as inspired, but the Protestant churches have accepted these books not because of the decision of a church or council, but because the books themselves were recognized as true and inspired, having God for their author.
