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.
