Description
Summary:The virtue of balancing the available historical evidence as carefully as possible is crucial in the study of the Christian bipartite canon. This book on canon formation and canonicity, edited by Einar Thomassen, makes a welcome contribution in this regard. The eleven essays included were originally written as part of ‘Highways and Byways’, an interdisciplinary project at the Department of Classics, Russian and Religion at the University of Bergen, Norway. The main concern of the project is to study ‘the Christian idea of “orthodoxy” ’.
