Most Christians do not think about the canon of Scripture and do not know what it means or what it means in theology. Most take the Bible they own for granted and never question how it came to be. Today we have 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament. However, there was a time when we did not have a cannon. Bruce defines the canon as books of the Bible recognized as being considered Scripture (p. 17). The importance of the canon and the way in which it was developed intrigued professor and author FF Bruce. He dedicated his book The Canon of Scripture to exploring and explaining the formulation of the canon we have today. Bruce taught at universities, including the University of Manchester, where he began lecturing students on the entire canon of Scripture. Bruce wrote numerous books and commentaries and served as general editor of the New International Commentary on the New Testament. He spent much of his time researching the formation of the canon with emphasis on the New Testament. The contents of this review will highlight how FF Bruce offers his interpretive definition, revision, and critiques of the complete canon of Scripture. The Canon of Scripture is divided into four sections: the introduction, followed by the Old and New Testaments, and ending with the conclusion and appendix. The introduction defines the word canon. The second section provides Bruce's explanation of the Old Testament canon, beginning with the Hebrew Bible. The author discusses the discoveries of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which have given us a better understanding of the Hebrew Bible. Bruce then explains the translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek called the Septuagint. He ends with how the canon was viewed by the Fath of the early Church... in the middle of the article... does not match the overall goal of the book which is to define the canon of Scripture. These lectures are not in keeping with the flow of the book because they involve other areas, including textual criticism which distances the reader from how the canon was formed. The Canon of Scripture is a scholarly writing that explains how the formation of the canon was completed. Bruce begins with how the Old Testament was formed, then moves to the New Testament and gives a historical account of how it was pieced together. It explores the Gnostic writers and how they prompted the Church to begin forming the New Testament canon because Gnostic teachings opposed those of the Church. This book provides adequate and historical research to prove what the author wants to accomplish, that is, to provide answers to any questions that would be asked about how the canon was formed..
