THE MERGING AND CONFUSING OF COMPOSITIONAL AND COMPILATIONAL HISTORIES IN RECENT DISCUSSIONS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON
2023
Overview
It is ancient readers rather than the biblical authors who are responsible for the order of the books in the NT canon. The authors of Acts, Romans, 2 Peter, and James did not intend their compositions to play a specific canonical role or to occupy a set position in the lineup of NT books. By putting the books of the NT canon in a certain order, early readers provided aparatextual frame for the biblical text, reflecting a certain way of understanding the text. The placing of books in order puts an external constraint on the text of Scripture, albeit an inescapable one when texts of diverse origin are collected in a literary corpus, but the processes of composition and compilation are separate in origin andfunction.
