Title: The "Bible" of Bible books
Review: Over the course of 35 years of teaching a course "The Making of the New Testament" at U. of TN, Dungan has gathered gems from history and from the research of his many students. This book truly tells how the Bible that would be canonized in 325 at the Council of Nicaea was pieced together, and exposes how many Church fathers prior to that had very different thoughts on Jesus (Marcion, for example, claimed in the 2nd century that Jesus came down from heaven a full-grown man, and Dungan explains why Marcion would believe this based on the gospel of Luke). I've read this book twice so far and I will be reading it again this afternoon.
Is the review positive or negative?
