Scripture. Canon. The Bible. Long before these categories were narrowed and formalized, believers read a wider world of Scripture than the one most modern readers know. Writings such as 1 Enoch, Jubilees, Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, Vision/Asension of Isaiah, Teaching (or Epistle) of Barnabas, the Shepherd of Hermas, Gospel of Nicodemus/Acts of Pilate, and other ancient prophetic voices circulated alongside the apostolic books, shaping discipleship, covenant identity, and the moral imagination of the first assemblies.
Over time, this same dynamic influenced how "canon" was defined, how collections and Bibles were formed, and how teaching and doctrine developed from reliance upon these narrowed collections, leaving a lasting imprint on Scriptural interpretation down to the present day. Before The Binding Of The Biblical Canon does not attempt to resolve those historical questions, but simply invites readers to rediscover the broader prophetic witness preserved in early manuscripts and to encounter the Scriptures as the first believers did - within a richer, more expansive landscape of faith. In a time when so much has been forgotten or set aside, these voices speak again with a clarity and urgency our generation needs to hear. Let us look with renewed attention and listen to the wider community of witnesses whose voices continue bear witness.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
