Preaching's Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference for 2014 (New Testament General) Did the New Testament canon arise naturally from within the early Christian faith? Were the bookswritten as Scripture, or did they become Scripture by a decision of the second-century church? Why did early Christians have a canon at all? These are the types of questions that led Michael J. Kruger to pick apart modern scholarship's dominant view that the New Testament is a late creation of the church imposed on books originally written for another purpose. Calling into question this commonly held "extrinsic" view, Kruger here tackles the five most prevalent objections to the classic understanding of a quickly emerging, self-authenticating collection of authoritative scriptures. Already a noted author on the subject of the New Testament canon, Kruger addresses foundational and paradigmatic assumptions of the extrinsic model as he provides powerful rebuttals and further support for the classic, "intrinsic" view. This framework recognizes the canon as the product of internal forces evolving out of the historical essence of Christianity, not a development retroactively imposed by the church upon books written hundreds of years before. Unlike many books written on the emergence of the New Testament canon that ask "when?" or "how?" Kruger focuses this work on the "why?"--exposing weaknesses in the five major tenets of the extrinsic model as he goes. WhileThe Question of Canon scrutinizes today's popular scholastic view, it also offers an alternative concept to lay a better empirical foundation for biblical canon studies.

I get tons of compliments about this pullover
Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large
I really like this pullover! A clothing steamer got the wrinkles out from the shipping process, and it hasn't wrinkled at all since then. It's lightweight, and allows my arms to move freely. The fabric feels good against my skin, and the color looks pretty much exactly as it looks on line. I wear an XXL, and it fits exactly as it should. I love the look of the mock neck collar, it's stylish and works well over a regular collared shirt. The quality is solid, and it's absolutely worth the price. No hesitation about ordering more.

Runs small, rough on the inside
Color: Misty Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Misty Blue, Size: X-Large
Basic performance half button pullover that looks great but just isn't quite worth the money. The polyester material will protect you from light rain and wick the moisture away, but everything else about it feels a little bit low rent. The plastic snaps on the collar are similar in quality to a cheap, disposable poncho. The interior is pretty scratchy and catches on the rough skin on the back of my elbow. Fit is a little snug and for 8% spandex there's just not much stretch. Misty blue color is attractive, but not enough to overcome the middling construction and build quality. Feels very similar to the underwhelming jackets I've 'earned' from my employer for meeting some sort of corporate milestone. If this were $25 I'd give it an extra star. For the list price you can find much better stuff from much better brands if you shop the sales.
