The Confession of Sin and Supplication for Grace Most holy and merciful Father, we acknowledge and confess before You our sinful nature. We are prone to evil and slothful in good, and all our shortcomings and offenses are against You. You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from Your ways, in wasting Your gifts, and in forgetting Your love. O Lord, have mercy on us, who are ashamed and sorry for all wherein we have displeased You. Teach us to hate our errors, cleanse us from our secret faults, and forgive our sins for the sake of Your dear Son. O most holy and loving Father, send Your purifying grace into our hearts, we beseech You, that we may henceforth live in Your light and walk in Your ways, according to the commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Scriptural Assurance of Pardon Titus 3:5-7 For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one an-other. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind ap-peared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

The Receiving of Tithes and Offerings

The Offertory Anthem THE LORD‟S MY SHEPHERD, I‟LL NOT WANT Hopson The Lord‟s my shepherd, I‟ll not want. He makes me down to lie, in pastures green, He leadeth me, the quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again. And me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, e‟en for His own name‟s sake. Yea, though I walk in death‟s dark vale, yet will I fear no ill. For Thou art with me, and Thy rod and staff me comfort still. My table Thou hast furnished, in presence of my foes. My head Thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me. And in God‟s house forevermore my dwelling place shall be. Amen.

David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, „I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.‟ So David took them off.” 1 Samuel 17:38-39

Earlier this week, I got together with my best friend from high school who was passing through town. We had a great time and were able to talk quite a bit about the Lord, the Bible, and finding a good church. My friend expressed concern over attacks on the Bible that he had heard in popular media, the point of which is that we cannot trust the source of our Bible. The impression is carefully given in books like The DaVinci Code and in popularized writings by liberal scholars such as Bart Ehrman, that the New Testament was put to-gether in a smoke-filled room by a shadowy group of power-hungry men. They point out that the earliest record finalizing the current 27 New Testament books was Athanasius’ Easter Letter of A.D. 367, three hundred years after the apostles! The suggestion is made that this list was a power-play to suppress alternative forms of Christian spirituality. All of this suggests that we should be skeptical about the Bible, seeing in it the agenda of certain religious men rather than the Word of God.

How do we respond to these charges? Most of today’s discussion concerns the New Testament, since the 39 books of the Old Testament have been in place since before the time of Christ. So the question is, ―How did the 27 books of the New Testament gain recognition as sacred Scripture?‖ I intend to go through this matter in detail in this week’s Wednesday night class (8/26/09), but here is a bullet point answer to whet your appetite:

The gospel and Christian doctrine were originally spread as an oral tradi-tion in the churches, based on the apostles’ personal teaching. As the apostles grew older, they wrote down their Gospels (our four were either written by an apostle – Matthew and John – or under apostolic supervision – Mark, under Peter, and Luke, under Paul). The apostles also began sending letters to their churches instructing them in doctrine and dealing with various problems. This was the age of persecution, so there were no Bible conferences or scholarly convocations. Apostolic scrolls (there were no books) rapidly spread throughout the empire – especially the Four Gospels and Paul’s letters – al-though any one church probably did not know all of the NT Scriptures. In the 2nd century, Christian leaders began writing to defend the faith and instruct the church, and they did so by teaching the books we now know as the New Testament. Justin Martyr (100-165 A.D.) defended Christianity by refer-ence to the Four Gospels (he called them the ―memoires of the apostles‖) and the Old Testament. His student Tatian (120-180 A.D.) compiled the Diatesseron, a combination of the four Gospels. These and other sources show that the early church acknowledged only the four Gospels of the NT as authoritative accounts of Jesus’s life and ministry. We find this also in the writings of Irenaeus (130-200), Tertullian (155-222), Clement of Alexandria (130-200) and Origen (185-254). Meanwhile, the living testimony of the apostles was kept alive in the churches. In Ephesus, for instance, people remembered the teaching of John

Letter from the Pastor…

How Did We Get Our Bible?

the Apostle in the A.D. 90’s. This church was the recipient of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, John’s Gospel, and the Book of Revelation, along with other books. So they knew personally which were the apostles’ writings! Consider Irenaeus, who wrote in the 170’s A.D. He was a personal disciple of Polycarp of Smyrna. Polycarp was a boy in the Ephesian church when John was preaching in the 80’s and 90’s. John was, of course, a personal disciple of Jesus. So in the 170’s and even later, this important church leader was a personal disciple of a man who studied under John himself and heard John’s first-hand account of Jesus. The point is that someone like Iranaeus knew what the true apostolic writings were because he had personal acquaintance with the process and people involved. Sometime between 170-200 A.D., a list of NT books was compiled in Rome. It is known today as the Muratorian Fragment. Unfortunately, it is damaged so that we can only read part of the list. But it is clear that the four Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, Jude, 1 and 2 John, and Revelation were accepted as Scripture. Note that no book not found in the New Testament was on this list. This list contained 21 of the 27 books in the NT and 80% of its material. This and later such lists shows a growing consensus of the NT canon. Only those books that were not widely disseminated – Hebrews and James being most prominent – were disputed. In the early 4th century, the emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and the age of persecution ended. This enabled the church leaders to meet and finalize their accepted list of canonical books. The historian Eusebius, writing at this time, divided the list into three categories: 1) those books accepted by all the churches: the Four Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, Hebrews, 1 Peter, 1 John, and Revelation. That is 22 of the 27 books; 2) books disputed by some because they were not as widely known: James, 2 Peter, 2-3 John, and Jude. These two categories put together all 27 books and none others; 3) rejected books: these include many worthy writings such as The Shepherd of Hermus and The Epistle of Diognetus, which were appreciated but rejected as Scripture.

What should we notice here? First, notice that there was never a time when a shadowy group of men met to ―decide‖ on which books would be in the New Testament. Rather it was a historical process of an underground, scattered, and persecuted church to acknowledge those books they recognized as apostolic and therefore authoritative. The key is that they recognized rather than decided on the apostolic canon. By the end of the second century, when a living connec-tion to the apostles themselves still existed, the basic shape of the New Testa-ment was fixed and is seen in church writings to have been the Word of God that shaped and empowered the early church.

This is only a brief summary of the issues, but I hope it is helpful to you. Perhaps you can use this information to help friends who are concerned and to defend the authority of the New Testament as it continues to speak today. In Christ’s Love, Pastor Rick Phillips
