Q

Who in the second century regarded at least some NT books as scripture?

A

Reply:
• Although Irenaeus affirms the four Gospels, the entire Pauline corpus except Philemon, Acts, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 1 and 2 John, and Revelation, there were others who also affirmed several books as apostolic;
• The Muratorian fragment c. 180
• Theophilus of Antioch c. 177 had a similar collection of books to Irenaeus
• Clement of Alexandria c. 198 affirmed a list of Scripture similar to Irenaeus’s list
• Justin Martyr (teacher of Tatian) writing c. 150-160, held the four Gospels (“memoirs”) as Sripture
• The NT itself (1 Tim 5:18; 2 Peter 3:16) cites Paul’s letters and J as on par with the OT Scriptures

Q

How does the eschatological beliefs of Jesus fulfilling OT promises affect the development of a canon?

A

• the structure of the OT naturally causes an expectation of new books to complete the OT story
• the OT pattern of redemption-revelation creates an expectation for new books
• the OT states that new revelation will accompany this new era of redemption (Deut 18:18; Isa 11:1, 4; 61:1-2; 2:2-3)
