Talk:Development of the New Testament canon

Introduction NOT too long
The introduction is just perfect the way it is.

CE vs AD
Before edits by user 174.28.120.116 today, there were three uses of CE and two of AD in dates in the body of this article. The IP user changed two of the CEs to ADs, so now it's 4 ADs and one CE. I really have little opinion on which way this should go, but it would be best to be consistent. I was bold and changed the last CE to AD. Rwessel (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I support AD since this is based on the New Testament only. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 00:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * This article was created using . It probably came from somewhere else, but in any case I'm for using as terser, less pointy, and the common English format. —  Llywelyn II   15:39, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Sources for future article expansion
This article may have started from a crib of the EB 11 article, which was a gutting of the much more thorough EB 9 article: There's obviously more modern scholarship, but there might be lines that were simply copied that should be attributed and the EB 9 article is a good source for the traditional views in the 19th century, based on the surviving textual resources. See also the EB 11's article on the Bible, which has detailed sections on the canon: — Llywelyn II   14:53, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Polycarp
In the lead, Polycarp's name appears between two full-stops without any further explanation. That makes little sense. Unless someone can clarify why the name is mentioned, it should be deleted. Nikolaj1905 (talk) 12:17, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
