What is Development of the New Testament canon?
The '''Christian Biblical canon''' is the set of books in the [[Bible]]. Although the Early Church mostly used the Greek translation of the [[Hebrew Bible]], the [[Septuagint]] or the [[Targum]]s among [[Aramaic]] speakers, the Apostles did not otherwise leave a defined set of new scriptures. However [[Saint Peter]] in his letters does refer to [[Paul]]'s writings, saying: 'the longsuffering of our Lord is [[Salvation (Christianity)|salvation]]; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. ([[2 Peter]] 3:15-16) The New Testament as it is today was defined later by the church at the [[Synod of Hippo]] in 393 AD. ==Other websites== *[http://www.4truth.net/fourtruthpbbible.aspx?pageid=8589952773 The New Testament Canon] at 4Truth *[http://newadvent.org/cathen/03274a.htm Canon of the New Testament] at Catholic encyclopaedia [[Category:New Testament]] {{religion-stub}}
