A General Survey Of The History Of The Canon Of The New Testament During The First Four Centuries is a book written by Brooke Foss Westcott, which provides a comprehensive overview of the formation of the New Testament canon during the first four centuries of Christianity. The book explores the history and development of the canon, beginning with the apostolic age and continuing through the fourth century. Westcott examines the various factors that influenced the formation of the canon, including the role of the early church fathers, the emergence of heretical movements, and the impact of political and cultural changes on the church. He also discusses the criteria used to determine which books should be included in the canon, such as apostolic authorship, orthodoxy, and widespread acceptance by the church.Throughout the book, Westcott draws on a wide range of historical sources, including early Christian writings, patristic literature, and the writings of the early church councils. He provides detailed analysis of the debates and controversies surrounding the canon, as well as the reasons behind the inclusion or exclusion of certain books.Overall, A General Survey Of The History Of The Canon Of The New Testament During The First Four Centuries is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, providing a thorough and insightful examination of the origins and development of the New Testament canon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
