{"product_id":"the-formation-of-the-christian-biblical-canon","title":"The Formation of the Christian Biblical Canon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Lee McDonald has written a lucid and accessible account of the formation of the Christian Bible  clearly marshalling the major evidence  working through the main problems  and reaching persuasive conclusions. Treating separately the canons of the Old and New Testaments  he provides translations of most of the ancient primary sources  good summaries of scholarly debates  and a useful guide to the extensive scholarly literature on the subject. This book will find an appreciative readership among students  pastors  and inquiring laypersons.\" Harry Gamble  Professor and Chair of Religious Studies  University of Virginia \"This is a remarkable book in that it tackles the question of the formation of the Christian biblical canon in its full sense  that is  both testaments. . . . McDonald has produced a timely study  considerably improved in the sections of the OT canon and generally more comprehensive for both testaments than in his first edition  that should command wide attention for years to come. He has  in my opinion  come to the right conclusions on the essential questions.\" James A.
