THE EARLY CHURCH
Part 13: The New Testament |
|
|
How did we get the New Testament? What was the role
of the Holy Spirit and the Christian leaders in preserving the
writings of the apostles? What was connection of Mark and Luke to
the early church leadership? Mark abandoned Barnabas and Paul on a
missionary trip, but later redeemed himself as both Peter and Paul
mentioned finding him useful. Luke was a physician who interviewed
those who knew Jesus well and traveled with Paul until the apostle’s
death. There was no central church leadership before AD 325 and the
Holy Spirit moved upon different bishops throughout the Roman Empire
to collect copies of the gospels and epistles, which eventually grew
to number twenty-seven books of the New Testament. Over time these
writings were accepted as scripture by the church. The Bible we have
today is precious because it represents God’s preserved word and
serves as a spiritual anchor for the doctrine of the New Testament
church. |
