types of people has grown easier to grasp. However, the church expanding throughout all time can seem to be somewhat of a mystery. In addition to believers alive today, the church also includes all the saints who are with the Lord, or as the book of Hebrews puts it, “are enrolled in heaven” (Heb 12:23). This broadest understanding of the church, to include those past and present is what Stanley J. Grenz refers to as the “mystical church”, “the one body composed of all believers of all ages.” One…

its beginning and end, the Muratorian Canon includes the gospels of John and Luke, Acts, Paul’s letters, Apocalypse of John, Jude 1 and 2 John, Wisdom of Solomon, and the Apocalypse of Peter.
