Speaking of the Canon...

What's in Your Bible? Find out at BibleStudyMagazine.comHere's a useful interactive "Canon Comparison Chart" from Vincent Setterholm of Logos [click on image]. It's an easy way of seeing what is and is not in each of the major canonizations of the scriptures. Included are the canons of the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Hebrew Bible, Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Syriac, Ethiopian, and Protestant. One major learning here is that even when you are talking about the scriptures, not everyone is following the same canon.

An interesting program on the History Channel the other night (I can't remember the name of it, though). It was a 2-hr look at why some books made it, why others didn't, and where they ended up. They looked at the Ethiopian Christian Bible, whose canon differs a bit even from all those listed here.

Very interesting. Definitely a vein of interest of mine now anyway.
