| Abstract | "How did authority function before the Bible as we know it emerged? Lee Martin McDonald examines the authorities that existed from the church's beginning: the appeal to the texts containing the words of Jesus, and that would become the New Testament, the not yet finalized Hebrew Scriptures (referred to mostly in Greek) and the apostolic leadership of the churches"-- Provided by publisher. |
