The New Testament Canon (3 of 8 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 13 THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

The Roman Church has made the claim that it gave the New to the world and decreed its inspiration through its church councils. However, it should be evident that if the New Testament writings are inspired, they .were inspired when they were written and not by reason of a church council which met several later. And, of course, no church organization gave any part the New Testament to us, a considerable part having been written there was a church in Rome. Paul’s epistles which were from Rome were not written from the church there but from Roman prison. What we are saying thus far is that while the apostles may not have been conscious that they were producing a canon of Scriptures, they were conscious of writing under the and guidance of the Holy Spirit and that their writings were at the time of their writing and therefore met the requirements for being canonical. It is another story of how these twenty-seven books came to be collected into one volume and to be accepted as the authoritative Word of God.
