Summary: "The Making of the New Testament" by Benjamin Wisner Bacon is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the formation and canonization of the New Testament, exploring the critical and historical underpinnings that led to the establishment of these writings as sacred scripture within Christianity. At the start of the text, the author introduces a paradox related to the development of the New Testament literature, emphasizing the tension between the early Christian movement's rejection of rigid canonical structures and their eventual acceptance of a formal canon. Bacon highlights the transformative roles of Jesus and Paul in this process, detailing how their teachings sought to liberate faith from legalistic practices and brought forth a new understanding of God's relationship with humanity. This opening sets the stage for a deeper examination of the historical evolution of early Christian texts and their significance in shaping the faith. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
