Resumen
VAN AARDE, Andries G.. The use and origin of the (Old and) New Testament as Christianity's canon. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2012, vol.68, n.1, pp.1-8. ISSN 2072-8050.
This article explained the valuation of Christian believers with regard to the Christian Bible a 'Holy Scripture'. In the article the notion 'Scriptural authority' was connected with an understanding of both the origin and use of the Christian canon. The article described the origin of the Bible in light of the supposition that the Bible functions as (1) book of theology, as well as (2) book of believers and as (3) book of the church. The article consisted of references to the role of the Old Testament and the New Testament canonical collections and the role of ecclesial synodal decisions. It also obtained a graphical overview of the history and dates of the New Testament writings as a canonical list. The article concluded with a reflection on the relevance for the use and authority of the Bible, seen from the perspective of the use and origin of the Bible as Christianity's canon.
