The Muratorian Fragment, traditionally dated at the end of the second century, is the earliest known list of the books of the New Testament. It is therefore an important milestone in understanding the formation of the Christian Canon of Scriptures. The traditional date of the Fragment, however, was questioned in 1973 by Albert C. Sundberg, Jr., in an article of the Harvard Theological Review that has since been generally ignored or dismissed. In this book, Dr.
Hahneman examines afresh the traditional dating of the Fragment in a complete and extensive study that concurs with Sundberg's findings. Arguing for a later placing of the Fragment, Dr. Hahneman shows that the entire history of the Christian Bible must be recast as a much longer and more gradual process. As a result, the decisive period of formation for the Christian Canon is found not at the end of the second century but in the midst of the fourth.
As a substantial contribution to our understanding of the development of the New Testament Canon, this book will be of considerable importance and interest to New Testament scholars and historians of the early Church alike.
