Compared to the New Testament, there was much less controversy over the canon of the Old Testament. Hebrew believers recognized God’s messengers and accepted their writings as inspired of God. While there was undeniably some debate in regards to the Old Testament canon, by A.D. 250 there was nearly universal agreement on the canon of Hebrew Scripture.
Sa kabila nito hindi maipagkakailang mayroon pa ring mga debate na may kinalaman sa Canon ng Lumang Tipan. Gayon man, noong 250 A.D. mayroong halos pandaigdigang kasunduan sa Canon ng Kasulatang Hebreo.
