Bibliology: 13 THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
About 180 B.C.
Jesus ben Sirach of Jerusalem wrote the book of Ecclesiasticus in Hebrew. About
50 years later his grandson, who bore the same name, translated the book into
Greek and wrote the Prologue to it. In it he acknowledges the Greek translation
of the Old Testament, which he felt had failed to express adequately the full
meaning of the original Hebrew, and he twice refers to the canonical Scriptures
under the three-fold division, Law, Prophets, and the rest of the books.
