There they were read aloud and reread, handled and copied, forwarded and collected, studied and treasured. And eventually they were brought together to make up our New Testament. This revised and expanded edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Making of the New Testament\u003c\/em\u003e is a textbook introduction to the origin, collection, copying and canonizing of the New Testament documents. Like shrewd detectives reading subtle whispers of evidence, biblical scholars have studied the trail of clues and pieced together the story of these books. Arthur Patzia tells the story, answering our many questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow were books and documents produced in the first century?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat motivated the early Christians to commit teaching and narrative and vision to papyrus?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow were the stories and sayings of Jesus circulated, handed down and shaped into Gospels?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat do we know about ancient letter writing, secretaries and \"copy shops\"?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy were four Gospels included instead of just one?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow were Paul's letters, sent here and there, gathered into a single collection?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho decided--and by what criteria--which documents would be included in the New Testament?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore these questions and more about these Scriptures whose everyday, gritty story rings true to their extraordinary message: the palpable mystery of the Word made flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.3 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42607018803296,"sku":"9780830827213","price":56.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/R0JQNGhoZnk5WE9DU1JWQ0VqWENZUT09.webp?v=1771829756","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-making-of-the-new-testament-origin-collection-text-canon-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
