Not by Paul Alone: The Formation of the Catholic Epistle Collection and the Christian Canon
Not
by Paul Alone explores the historical reasons for the creation of the
book of James and the implications for the creation of the Christian
canon. Nienhuis makes a compelling case that James was written in the
mid-second century and is, like 2 Peter, an attempt to provide a
distinctive shape to the emerging New Testament. This book bolsters the
claim that the Catholic Epistles not only have a distinct witness
individually, but that collectively they are also a considered
theological agenda within the Christian church.
