The Formation of the New Testament by George Hooper Ferris is a comprehensive study of the development of the New Testament canon. The book provides a historical overview of the early Christian church and the various writings that were considered authoritative by different communities. Ferris examines the process by which these writings were collected, evaluated, and eventually included in the canon of scripture. The author explores the role of key figures such as Marcion, Irenaeus, and Athanasius in shaping the canon, as well as the debates and controversies that arose along the way. He also discusses the criteria used to determine which texts were deemed worthy of inclusion in the New Testament, including their theological content, apostolic authorship, and widespread acceptance among the faithful. Throughout the book, Ferris offers insights into the social, cultural, and political forces that influenced the formation of the New Testament. He also provides a detailed analysis of each of the books included in the canon, examining their historical context, authorship, and theological themes. Overall, The Formation of the New Testament is a valuable resource for scholars and lay readers alike who are interested in understanding the origins and development of the Christian scriptures.
