The Doctrine of Scripture (2) Why we believe the Bible is the Word of God

Review: Part One 1. Inspiration – the Holy Spirit moved men to write the word of God (theopneustos) 2. Inerrancy – the Bible in its original autographs and properly interpreted is wholly true in everything it affirms (without error) 3. Authority – the Bible is the only and absolute rule of faith and practice (God’s authority)

Part Two: Overview 1. Canonicity – which writings belong in the Bible? who determines this? 2. Transmission – are copies of the manuscripts reliable? 3. Translation – how accurate are our English translations? which one should I use?

Canonicity: Introduction Relationship to Inspiration:  Inspiration – the recording of God’s Word  Inerrancy – the result of inspiration  Canonicity – the recognition of inspiration the acceptance by God’s people of those writing which are inspired and authoritative

Canonicity: Introduction Meaning of the word “canon” Kanon (Gr.) – a straight rod used as a rule “the canon of Scripture is understood to be the list of books which are acknowledged to be, in a unique sense, the rule of belief and practice” (F.F. Bruce, The Canon of Scripture, p.18)

Canonicity: Introduction Key questions:  How did this recognition come about?  What criteria was used to determine whether a given writing was authoritative and inspired?

Canonicity: Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures  The Hebrew Canon was complete and recognized by 400 B.C. (not developed by the church)  Jesus affirmed the canon of the Hebrew Scriptures (decisive for Christians)  The 24 books of the Hebrew canon are identical to the 39 books of our Old Testament

Canonicity: Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures (“Tanak”)  Torah (Law): Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy  Nebi’im (prophets): Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings (former prophets) Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Twelve (latter prophets)  Ketubim (writings) Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah, Chronicles

Canonicity: Old Testament Criterion of Canonicity:  authorship – the writings of the prophets (God’s spokesmen)  included Moses, Joshua, Nathan, David, Solomon, the Psalmist  the histories were written by the prophets (1 Chron. 29:29; 2 Chron. 32:32)  no more prophets after Malachi (canon closed)
