The Canon of the Bible: Its Formation, History and Fluctuations is a historical and critical study of the formation of the Bible. Written by Samuel Davidson and originally published in 1880, the book explores the origins and development of the canon of the Old and New Testaments, examining the various factors that influenced its formation and the controversies that surrounded it.Davidson begins by tracing the history of the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. He then delves into the formation of the New Testament canon, discussing the role of the early church fathers in determining which books should be included and excluded from the canon.Throughout the book, Davidson examines the various controversies that arose over the centuries regarding the canon, including the debates over the inclusion of certain books and the rejection of others. He also explores the impact of historical and cultural factors on the canon, such as the influence of Greek philosophy and the rise of the Protestant Reformation.Overall, The Canon of the Bible is a comprehensive and insightful study of the formation of the Bible. It provides readers with a deep understanding of the historical and cultural context in which the canon was developed and sheds light on the complex and often contentious process of canonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
