Ken Berding, an associate professor whose field of study is the Christian Greek Scriptures, gives this comment about how the canon emerged: “The church did not establish a canon of its choosing; it is more proper to speak of the church recognizing the books that Christians had always considered to be an authoritative Word from God. ”
Abiprofessor Ken Berding, kes on uurinud Piibli kreeka osa, kommenteerib kaanoni tekkelugu: „Kirik ei otsustanud, millised raamatud kaanonisse arvata; pigem võime rääkida sellest, et kirik tunnustas neid raamatuid, mida kristlased olid alati pidanud usaldusväärseks Jumala Sõnaks. ”
