History of the development of the Biblical Canon

[Steve_C_1]

Is there a more concise history of the develpment of the canon of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. If you know of where I can find it, books, websites, etc. it would be greatly appreciated. Preferrably I would like on-line explanations that quote scholars in the field, but I’ll take whatever I can get. Thanks.

Here’s video of the history of the Bible and explains the NT canon.

Its kinda long, but its really good.

It doesn’t focus much on the OT canon though, so yah…

A good book related to the development of the New Testament canon is “The Canon of the New Testament: Its Origin, Development and Significance” by Bruce Metzger. Link:

Some information about the development of the Old Testament canon can be found on Wikipedia (…insert disclaimers here…):

Phat Mass has LOTS of links to online articles for every topic you can imagine. Here’s their page on the canon of scripture:

Gary Michuta’s book “Why Catholic Bibles are Bigger” is wonderful. It’s published by Grotto Press.
