Zusammenfassung:
As early as the second century, patristic theologians and historians began to debate the shape of a New Testament collection. Chief among the criteria for a work's inclusion was authentic attribution to a recognized apostolic figure. But neither the process of arbitrating a work's authenticity nor of determining the boundary of this developing authoritative collection were linear or straightforward. For one thing, the elasticity and permeability of tradition surrounding figures from the scriptural past, that is, both illustrative scriptural exempla and apostolic authorial figures, often clash with the rhetoric of strict vigilance over scriptural authenticity and intracanonical fidelity between the Christian Old and New Testaments. This resource analyses this topic.
