I first took the class through what makes up the New Testament corpus and why the NT was written. Then I lectured on the process of canonization - how the 27 books of the NT came about to be accepted as canonical Scripture alongside the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. It was an exhilarating class as the students this year were enthusiastic and I could see that they were all ears when I spoke as if every word was taken with extreme seriousness. It is serious business learning the Word of God.
