Some Facts about the New Testament Era:
|
1) The early church originated in an era in which materials to produce writings or books were not readily available
2) The materials in which one could write on at the time were: - animal skins - parchment - vellum - dried up leaves from papyrus plants (most common) 3) Most teaching was done by word of mouth. It was an oral culture. 4) early Christians believed the Lord's return was very near 5) As eye witness testimonies became fewer, the need to write down things in order to preserve what had been taught and revealed about Christ became increasingly important 6) It is important to note that the process of canonizatino was NOT about the church making anything official, as much as it was about the Church merely acknowledging the divinely inspired apostolic teaching and writings that were surfacing |
