"...I have been working through a new series on the NT canon designed to help Christians understand ten basic facts about its origins. This series is designed for a lay-level audience and hopefully could prove helpful in a conversation one might have with a skeptical friend."
They are as follows:
#1- “The New Testament Books are the Earliest Christian Writings We Possess”
#2- “Apocryphal Writings are All Written in the Second Century or Later”
#3- “The New Testament Books Are Unique Because They Are Apostolic Books”
#4- “Some NT Writers Quote Other NT Writers as Scripture”
#5- “The Four Gospels are Well Established by the End of the Second Century”
#6- “At the End of the Second Century, the Muratorian Fragment lists 22 of our 27 NT books”
#7- “Early Christians Often Used Non-Canonical Writings.”
#8- “The NT Canon Was Not Decided at Nicea—Nor Any Other Church Council.”
#9- “Christians Did Disagree about the Canonicity of Some NT Books”
#2- “Apocryphal Writings are All Written in the Second Century or Later”
#3- “The New Testament Books Are Unique Because They Are Apostolic Books”
#4- “Some NT Writers Quote Other NT Writers as Scripture”
#5- “The Four Gospels are Well Established by the End of the Second Century”
#6- “At the End of the Second Century, the Muratorian Fragment lists 22 of our 27 NT books”
#7- “Early Christians Often Used Non-Canonical Writings.”
#8- “The NT Canon Was Not Decided at Nicea—Nor Any Other Church Council.”
#9- “Christians Did Disagree about the Canonicity of Some NT Books”
