New Testament Canon

The New Testament Canon refers to the official collection of 27 Christian books recognized as authentic and authoritative by most Christian traditions. These texts include the Gospels, Pauline and General Epistles, Acts, and Revelation, documenting Jesus' life, teachings, and early Christian history. The canon was established over centuries through careful evaluation of writings' authenticity, theological consistency, and widespread use in worship and teaching. This process helped define the core beliefs of Christianity and distinguish canonical scriptures from other writings or heretical texts.
