WALL CHART: Books of the Bible - Laminated

Excerpt from The Books of the Bible: New Testament

Slight change of meaning. The books are not only the rule of the Church's faith; they are themselves in conformity with a standard. They find their place in a list which is accepted by the Church as the rule of what is or is not Scripture. SO Athanasius Speaks of books that are in this sense canonised, and the Council of Laodicea (am. 39) of those that are not so. Amphilochius (circ. A.d. 380) takes up the language of the Latin translator of Origen, and uses it for the actual Catalogue of Books. With Jerome the term is in frequent use in this sense, and from his writings it passed into the common language of Latin Christendom, and so into that of modern Europe, and men spoke of the Canonical Scriptures as those which were in the Canon.
