Description

THE BIBLE IN THE CHURCH
Brooke Foss Westcott, D.D.
Macmillan and Co., London | 1879 | New Edition

A Victorian work of biblical history and theology exploring how the Holy Scriptures were collected, recognised and received within the Christian churches.

Subtitled “A Popular Account of the Collection and Reception of the Holy Scriptures in the Christian Churches”, the book traces the development of the biblical canon through the Apostolic Age, early Church Fathers, apologists and church councils.

Written by biblical scholar Brooke Foss Westcott, this volume would make an interesting addition to a collection of nineteenth-century theology, church history or biblical scholarship.
