But how did the Bible come to be? How did the disparate fragments of text that make up the Bible evolve into the sacred scripture that we know today?
In his book From the First Fragments to Sacred Scripture, Dr. John Barton explores the historical, literary, and theological development of the Bible. Drawing on the latest scholarship, Barton provides a comprehensive and engaging account of how the Bible came to be.
Barton begins by examining the earliest fragments of biblical text, which date back to the second millennium BCE. These fragments provide tantalizing glimpses into the origins of the Israelite religion and the development of the early biblical traditions.
Barton then traces the development of the biblical texts through the centuries, showing how they were shaped by the political, social, and religious changes that occurred in the ancient Near East. He explores the emergence of the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings, and he discusses the process by which these texts were eventually canonized.
Barton also examines the development of the Christian canon, showing how the early church selected and interpreted the biblical texts in light of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. He discusses the role of the apostles, the church fathers, and the ecumenical councils in shaping the Christian canon.
From the First Fragments to Sacred Scripture is a landmark work of scholarship that provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the development of the Bible. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Bible's origins and history.
