The Topic Of Canonicity
There are some
books in the Bible that had a hard time getting there. Esther had the hardest
time of all. A book’s canonicity, whether or not it should be accepted as Holy
Scripture, is an extremely important issue for each book of the Bible. The New
Testament Canon is a much easier subject to discuss than the old because we
know a lot more about how it was formed. There are extensive records of the
development of the New Testament Canon and we can point to many different
Church councils that solidified the New Testament Canon. This is not the case
with the Old Testament.
