The Thoughtful Christians study group will begin a new book this Sunday.  The new book is The Canon of Scripture by F. F. Bruce.

The book is available from Amazon.

There is also a free PDF version of the book available.

The Canon of Scripture looks at the history of the Bible: how were the books in the Bible chosen and put into the order we currently use? Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox Christians have different ideas on this issue, and historically there have been many controversies.

Even today, some Christians take some books of the Bible more seriously than others. We’ll get the scoop on the historical background of these decisions.
