How Many Canons?
From Search the Scriptures Live by Dr. Jeannie Constantinou, and Ancient Faith Ministries
March 3, 2026
About this episode
The episode explores the historical variations in the New Testament canon and the unique canonical tradition of Ethiopia.
Although general consensus for the NT canon was reached around AD 400, many surprising variations continued. Complete uniformity did not exist for hundreds of years. Revelation was in, then out, then in. Why? Ethiopia has a unique canonical tradition we will also explore.
