The Canon of the New Testament: Preface

Von Christian


Having completed this series on the canon of the New Testament in 2023, and unfortunately having to start again in 2024 with a new YouTube channel ‚Beroean Search‘ , I would like to take this opportunity to preface the series with a short foreword.

When you watch the 18 episodes of the series, you’re embarking on a journey of discovery with me. You may well feel like you’re in the valley of tears at times, but don’t worry – it doesn’t end hopelessly.

When you realise that you are losing familiar, cherished and seemingly important cornerstones of your faith, it is a difficult time. It was the same for me. But often a cornerstone is there – just not in the way we might have imagined.

The question is whether you want to stick with a belief that feels good but is superficial and based on wishful thinking. This often leads to you isolating yourself from other opinions, being afraid of them or reacting with arrogance.

Or you can face the facts and develop a mature, balanced faith. Sometimes you also have to listen to the ‚other side‘. And learn to deal with uncertainties.

If we do not expect anything from the Bible – and especially the New Testament, which we are discussing here – that has never been promised to us, we will be much more grateful for what we have. Texts of faith for our faith.
