Anna’s Reviews > The Question of Canon: Challenging the Status Quo in the New Testament Debate > Status Update

Ooh, I feel like this is the kind of book that would make me nervous, but probably in a way that would be beneficial to me. Looks interesting, for sure.

The title is actually a little bit misleading I think! Michael isn't so much questioning whether or not our concept of canon is valid as the opposite. The intention isn't to prove anything necessarily either. The intention is to question whether or not the current conversation surrounding the greater topic is too quickly writing off things it shouldn't and misrepresenting the facts in a lot of assumptions that are being made.

It's kind of a dense read and I haven't picked it up in a while but I was really enjoying it.

Ahhh, I see. It would still probably make me nervous, just because my brain is very much the type that questions everything when it starts questioning one thing. Though, that may be a tiny bit different now that I'm a believer? Maybe I should look into trying to read it.

ye, maybe when i get through it you can borrow it! he has another book that covers a similar topic and i'm not completeely sure what the difference is between them or which one would be a better starting point (this one is a bit shorter though).

shorter is probably more manageable XD very interesting!
