Tract Canon This word is derived from a Hebrew and Greek word denoting a reed or cane .
Hence it means something straight ,
or something to keep straight ;
and hence also a rule ,
or something ruled or measured .
It came to be applied to the Scriptures ,
to denote that they contained the authoritative rule of faith and practice ,
the standard of doctrine and duty .
A book is said to be of canonical authority when it has a right to take a place with the other books which contain a revelation of the Divine will .
Such a right does not arise from any ecclesiastical authority ,
but from the evidence of the inspired authorship of the book .
The canonical (
i .
e .,
the inspired )
books of the Old and New Testaments ,
are a complete rule ,
and the only rule ,
of faith and practice .
They contain the whole supernatural revelation of God to men .
The New Testament Canon was formed gradually under divine guidance .
The different books as they were written came into the possession of the Christian associations which began to be formed soon after the day of Pentecost ;
and thus slowly the canon increased till all the books were gathered together into one collection containing the whole of the twenty -
seven New Testament inspired books .
Historical evidence shows that from about the middle of the second century this New Testament collection was substantially such as we now possess .
Each book contained in it is proved to have ,
on its own ground ,
a right to its place ;
and thus the whole is of divine authority .
The Old Testament Canon is witnessed to by the New Testament writers .
Their evidence is conclusive .
The quotations in the New from the Old are very numerous ,
and the references are much more numerous .
These quotations and references by our Lord and the apostles most clearly imply the existence at that time of a well -
known and publicly acknowledged collection of Hebrew writings under the designation of "
The Scriptures ;" "
The Law and the Prophets and the Psalms ;" "
Moses and the Prophets ,"
etc .
The appeals to these books ,
moreover ,
show that they were regarded as of divine authority ,
finally deciding all questions of which they treat ;
and that the whole collection so recognized consisted only of the thirty -
nine books which we now posses .
Thus they endorse as genuine and authentic the canon of the Jewish Scriptures .
The Septuagint Version (
q .
v .)
also contained every book we now have in the Old Testament Scriptures .
As to the time at which the Old Testament canon was closed ,
there are many considerations which point to that of Ezra and Nehemiah ,
immediately after the return from Babylonian exile . (
See BIBLE �
T0000580 , {
EZRA }, {
QUOTATIONS }.)
CANON ,
eccl .
law .
This word is taken from the Greek ,
and signifies a rule or law .
In ecclesiastical law ,
it is also used to designate an order of religious persons .
Francis Duaren says ,
the reason why the ecclesiastics called the rules they established canons or rules , (
canones id est regulas )
and not laws ,
was modesty .
They did not dare to call them (
leges )
laws ,
lest they should seem to arrogate to themselves the authority of princes and magistrates .
