The oldest complete Christian Bibles, dating back to the fourth and fifth centuries, comprise two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. While the content of the Old Testament varies, the New Testament consistently consists of twenty-seven canonical writings. Who decided on these twenty-seven writings? The Canonical Edition of the New Testament was not just a random selection. It was a carefully edited and designed collection that emerged in the second century. Understanding the New Testament as a publication of the second century, not the first, aligns better with historical evidence and offers a deeper appreciation for the Catholic Christian faith community's beliefs and narratives.
