We've had a little confusion on this thread over the last few hours and some of it has been deleted at the request of the posters.

I'm asking all here to be more careful in posting, in posting quotes from others, and in practicing charity toward all. Each one here is a one-of-a-kind original loved with an infinite love by Christ. Let us not forget that in posting or praying or in anything else. If Christ could show the deference of acdcepting the Cross for us, we can minimally be charitable in writing to our brethren.

Actually if I believe correctly the Canon was only re itterated at Trent. The original Canon of the West stems from the Council of Hippo in North Africa 8 Oct.in the year 393 AD and its brevoarium of its canons was read at the Council of Carthage 397 AD.
Perhaps someone could enlighten us on further information.
Stephanos I
A good source book is "The Canon of Scripture by F.F. Bruce, (a protestant scholar).

From the early councils:
- Council of Laodicea (c. 363) lists 26 New Testament books (excludes Revelations), but misses some OT books.
- Council of Carthage (397) defined the canon for the Western Church, both OT and NT. (Third Council of Carthage, canon 24.)
- Ecumenical Council of Nicaea (787) adopted the canons of earlier councils (and thus might be said to have adopted those of Carthage).
- Canon confirmed by Council of Trent (1546).

I believe the canon of the bible was not set in any way at Nicea.

This article deals with the legend that the canon of the bible was discussed at the council.

A canon distinguishes what is revealed and divine from what is not revealed and human.


It would be nice if that were true.

What else would a canon be?

MM,

I recall reading that the canon was defined at Ephesus...

Something that actually distinguishes the divine and human.
