34 The Determination of the Canon The tests given to the biblical books:
1. Authorship—who wrote the book or the epistle? 2. Local church acceptance — had it been read by the various churches? What was their opinion?

35 The Determination of the Canon The tests given to the biblical books:
3. Church fathers’ recognition — had the pupils of the disciples quoted from the book? As an example, “What did Polycarp, the disciple of John the Apostle think of it?” 4. Book subject matter (content) —what did the book teach? Did it contradict other recognized books? 5. Personal edification — did the book have the ability to inspire, convict, and edify local congregations and individual believers?

36 The Finalization of the Canon.
The Old Testament: By the year 300 b.c. (at the latest) all Old Testament books had been written, collected, revered, and recognized as official, canonical books. Many believe Ezra the prophet led the first recognition council.

37 The Finalization of the Canon.
The New Testament: During the Third Council of Carthage, held in A.D. 397, the twenty-seven New Testament books were declared to be canonical. However, it absolutely must be understood that the Bible is not an authorized collection of books, but rather a collection of authorized books. In other words, the twenty-seven New Testament books were not inspired because the Carthage Council proclaimed them to be, but rather the Council proclaimed them to be such because they were already inspired.
