Constitution of the biblical gun

See the specific article Canon (Bible)

The constitution of the gun of the Bible proceeded over several centuries and was the subject of a very complex history which must take account of the various communities of faith, each one having defined the list of the texts to which they recognized a character of divine inspiration.

Three communities are mainly at the origin of a canonical list: Jewish, catholic and Protestant. The Jewish community is at the origin of two guns, the Tanakh and the Seventy; it will retain only the first at the time of the synod of Jamnia about the year 90, whereas the first Christian communities adopt the second rather. As well as precise W. Harrington, the quotations of the Old Testament present in the text néotestamentaire “are usually borrowed from the Seventy”.

At the request of the pope Damask Ier, Jerome de Stridon, at the 4th century, translated into Latin the Hebraic Bible, as well as the books of the Seventy directly written in Greek. At the same time, the Latin Église determines the list of the twenty-seven books which constitute the New Testament. The councils of Hippone (393) and of Carthage (397 and 419) will confirm the authenticity of the discussed books. The Greek Church, afterwards many hesitations, will adopt the gun of the Écritures which had been defined by the Westerners at the time of the Concile in Trullo in 692. The version of Jerome became official version of the Catholic church to the Concile of Thirty in 1546. This canonization was done under measurements of the Counter-Reformation.

The reforming , for the Old Testament, recognized like did not inspire that the books of the Hebraic gun, following Luther which judged the books “antilegomenes” as being “Books which are not looked like having the same value as the Holy Scripture, but which is however useful and goods to be read”.
