 The Formation of the Christian Biblical Canon: Revised and Expanded Edition Lee M McDonald 
 Description From The Publisher: "This is a remarkable book in that it tackles the question of the formation of the Christian biblical canon in its full sense, that is, both testaments. . . McDonald has produced a timely study, considerably improved in the sections of the OT canon and generally more comprehensive for both testaments that in his first edition, that should command wide attention for years to come. He has, in my opinion, come to the right conclusions on the essential questions."-James A. Sanders, Professor of Biblical and Intertestamental Studies, School of Theology at Claremont Reviews "Lee McDonald has written a lucid and accessible account of the formation of the Christian Bible, clearly marshalling the major evidence, working through the main problems, and reaching persuasive conclusions. Treating separately the canons of the Old and New Testaments, he provides translations of most of the ancient primary sources, good summaries of scholarly debates, and a useful guide to the extensive scholarly literature on the subject. This book will find an appreciative readership among students, pastors, and inquiring laypersons."
