Résumé
This book delves into the crucial role that the Church Fathers played in the formation and definition of the Christian biblical canon. From the early days of Christianity through to the councils of Hippo and Carthage, the Church Fathers-figures like Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Jerome, and Augustine-shaped the canon through their theological writings, ecclesiastical decisions, and theological debates.
By examining the historical, theological, and cultural contexts in which these figures lived and worked, the book explores how their writings helped to distinguish between authentic Christian scriptures and heretical texts, laying the groundwork for what would later become the Old and New Testament canon. Through a comprehensive analysis of key writings, theological concepts, and primary sources, The Role of the Church Fathers in Defining the Canon provides a deep, insightful narrative into how the canon was not merely an arbitrary selection of texts but a living, dynamic process that was influenced by the need to preserve apostolic tradition, ensure doctrinal orthodoxy, and address the theological challenges posed by early heretical movements.
With careful attention to how these foundational figures shaped Christian thought, this book also addresses the lasting influence of their work on subsequent canonical discussions, highlighting how their decisions continue to resonate in modern biblical scholarship. This historical and theological exploration offers readers a profound understanding of how the Christian canon was developed, defined, and defended, and how the Church Fathers' influence remains a cornerstone of Christian faith and biblical interpretation.
