The Apocrypha1!Deuterocanonical Books: an Evangelical View
XIV lated widely in the Hellenistic church, many have argued that (a) the Septuagint represents an Alexandrian (as opposed to a Palestinian) canon, and that (b) the early church, using a Greek Bible, there fore clearly bought into this alternative canon. In any case, (c) the Hebrew canon was not "closed" until Jamnia (around 85 C.E.), so the earliest Christians could not have thought in terms of a closed Hebrew The Apocrypha1!Deuterocanonical Books: canon. "It seems therefore that the Protestant position must be judged a failure on historical grounds."2 An Evangelical View But serious objections are raised by traditional Protestants, including evangelicals, against these points. (a) Although the LXX translations were undertaken before Christ, the LXX evidence that has D. A. CARSON come down to us is both late and mixed. An important early manuscript like Codex Vaticanus (4th cent.) includes all the Apocrypha except 1 and 2 Maccabees; Codex Sinaiticus (4th cent.) has Tobit, Judith, Evangelicalism is on many points so diverse a movement that it would be presumptuous to speak of the 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, and Ecclesiasticus; another, Codex Alexandrinus (5th cent.) boasts all the evangelical view of the Apocrypha. Two axes of evangelical diversity are particularly important for the apocryphal books plus 3 and 4 Maccabees and the Psalms of Solomon. In other words, there is no evi subject at hand. First, while many evangelicals belong to independent and/or congregational churches, dence here for a well-delineated set of additional canonical books. (b) More importantly, as the LXX has many others belong to movements within national or mainline churches. -

It’s a big, thick book—much longer than most books people read. It’s also ancient. The most recent part of it was penned almost 2,000 years ago. That means it’s not written in a modern style. It can seem strange and unfamiliar to a contemporary person. Even more intimidating is that it shows us our sins and makes demands on our lives. -

The Eastern Churches had, in general, a weaker feeling than those in the West for the necessity of making sharp delineations with regard to the canon. The only issue that remained was the Apocrypha, with some debate and discussion continuing today. The following tables reflect the current state of various Christian canons. Among other things, this text contains his purported " Letter of Appointment " from Joseph Smith and his translation of the Voree plates. Starting with that premise, we can compare writings outside the accepted canon of Scripture to see if they meet the test. This played a major role in finalizing the structure of the collection of works called the Bible. Yes Osee.

The Sola Scriptura Principle in the Current Debate1
Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 24/1 (2013):107-126. Article copyright © 2013 by Aleksandar S. Santrac. The Sola Scriptura Principle in the Current Debate1 Aleksandar S. Santrac, D.Phil., Ph.D. Professor of Religion, Philosophy & Ethics University of the Southern Caribbean, Trinidad, WI Extraordinary Associate Professor of Dogmatics North-West University, RSA Introduction In this article, I would like to present the contemporary Evangelical position on the sola scriptura principle, in the context of ecumenical dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church and the brief conversation with a current Adventist position. The preliminary working definition of the sola scriptura principle, from the conventional Protestant/Evangelical standpoint, may include: i. the primary and absolute authority of the Scripture, as originally given, as the final court of appeal for all doctrine and practice; ii. the sufficiency of the Scripture as the final written authority of God; iii. the clearness (perspicuity) of the essential biblical message; iv. the primacy of the Scriptures over all tradition rather than a total rejection of tradition and, v. the principle that Scripture interprets Scripture without external authority.2 1 This article is partially a brief excerpt from my Sola Scriptura: Benedict XVI’s Theology of the Word of God, PhD dissertation, North-West University, RSA, 2012. 2 Norman L.

Andrews University Seminary Studies, Autumn 1997, Vol. 35, No. 2,211-226 Copyright O 1997 by Andrews University Press. SOLA SCRIPTURA, INERRANTIST FUNDAMENTALISM, AND THE WESLEYAN QUADRILATERAL: IS "NOCREED BUT THE BIBLEnA WORKABLE SOLUTION? WOODROWW. WHIDDEN Andrews University Berrien Springs, MI 49104 Introduction American Bible-believing Protestants have given firm support to the finality of biblical authority in doctrinal formation. This scripturally oriented heritage certainly has its source in the issues which erupted out of the sixteenth-century Reformation's resort to and emphasis upon the sola Scriptwa principle. The issue which this article addresses is whether conservative Protestants can, in all honesty, continue to give assent to this venerable principle.1 While other traditions will be mentioned, the focus of this essay will be on the way Wesleyans have sought to come to terms with the practical problems raised by sola Scriptura. This will be addressed through a clarification of the way their use of the so-called Quadrilateral can be instructive for other traditions which take scriptural authority seriously. Before we address some historic trends which have rendered soh Scriptura problematic and seek to clarify the implications of the Quadrilateral methodology, a brief sketch of the way sola Scriptura has evolved in the American Protestant Bible-believing tradition is in order. A North American Historical Sketch Much of the practical interaction with Scripture is still under the shadow of the yeasty individualism of the early nineteenth century. In that time sola Smptura evolved into such radical slogans as "No creed but 'Probably the best review of the historical and hermeneutical vagaries which surrounded rhk Reformation appropriation of sola Scriptura is given by ~linerMcGrath, Reformation Thought (New York: Basil Blackwell, 1988), 95-116; and idem, The Intellecttral Origins of the European Reformation (New York: Basil Blackwell, 1987), 140-174. -
