The Formation of the New Testament by Edgar J. Goodspeed is a comprehensive study of the origins and development of the Christian Bible. The book explores the historical, cultural, and religious contexts in which the various books of the New Testament were written, and examines the process by which they were selected and compiled into the canon we know today. Goodspeed draws on a wide range of sources, including early Christian writings, historical documents, and archaeological evidence, to provide a detailed account of the formation of the New Testament. He also discusses the controversies and debates surrounding the canonization process, including the role of early Christian leaders and the criteria used to determine which books were included in the final version of the Bible. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
