"De Historia Canonis Utriusque Testamenti" is a scholarly and rigorous examination of the historical formation and formal recognition of the Biblical canon. Authored by the prominent Dominican theologian P. Seraphinus M. Zarb, this work provides a detailed chronological account of how the books of both the Old and New Testaments were compiled and accepted within the Christian tradition.
The text delves into the criteria for canonicity, the role of apostolic tradition, and the definitive pronouncements of early church councils. By analyzing both internal scriptural evidence and the testimonies of the Church Fathers, Zarb offers a comprehensive overview of the development of the sacred library. This work is an invaluable resource for scholars of theology, biblical studies, and history, providing profound insights into the structural and historical foundations of the Bible. Through meticulous research, the author highlights the continuity and authority involved in the preservation of sacred texts, making this an essential volume for understanding the origins of the Christian scriptures.
