Most college and seminary courses on the New Testament include discussions of the process that gave shape to the New Testament. Now, David Dungan reexamines the primary source for this history, the Ecclesiastical History of the fourthcentury Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea, in the light of Hellenistic political thought. He reaches startling new conclusions: that we usually use the term 'canon' incorrectly; that the legal imposition of a 'canon' or 'rule' upon scripture was a fourth and fifthcentury phenomenon enforced with the power of the Roman imperial government; and that the forces shaping the New Testament canon are much earlier than the secondcentury crisis occasioned by Marcion, and that they are political forces. Dungan discusses how the scripture selection process worked, bookbybook, as he examines the criteria used and not used to make these decisions. Finally, he describes the consequences of the emperor Constantine's tremendous achievement in transforming orthodox, Catholic Christianity into imperial Christianity.
