Appreciating the Complex Canons of the Old and New Testaments

This morning (9/22/2020), on Google Meet, I discussed with my 61 Isagogics students (Divine Word Seminary-Tagaytay) the complexity and the fluidity of the Biblical canons. They signify, however, the varieties and richness of the Jewish and Christians scriptural traditions. One must not therefore say, "The Bible came from us."

If accessible, you can read: Michael W. Holmes, "From Books to Library: The Formation of the Biblical Canons," in  Gorman (ed.), Scripture and Its Interpretation: A Global, Ecumenical Introduction to the Bible (2017).
