	The Biblical Canon Of The Ethiopian Orthodox Church Today
		The books for which canonicity is claimed (at least by some authorities), but which are not included in these large editions of the Bible, have not been printed in Ethiopia at all; so for these one can only turn to MSS or to foreign printed editions.
		The canonicity of the books included in the large Geez and Amharic diglot, and large Amharic editions of the Bible, and in the 'narrower' Canon, can be regarded as undisputed in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church today.
		From a traditionalist point of view the additional books of the 'broader' canon must be regarded as equally canonical; but it seems that in practice they may come to be regarded more as 'commentary' on the canonical books, and therefore as possessing only a derived authority.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the Old Testament
		The completion of the Jewish Canon, by the addition of the Prophets and Hagiographa as bodies to the Law, is attributed by conservatives to Esdras, the priest-scribe and religious leader of the period, abetted by Nehemias, the civil governor; or at least to a school of scribes founded by the former.
		The 59th (or 60th) canon of the provincial Council of Laodicea (the authenticity of which however is contested) gives a catalogue of the Scriptures entirely in accord with the ideas of St. Cyril of Jerusalem.
		In 1442, during the life, and with the approval, of this Council, Eugenius IV issued several Bulls, or decrees, with a view to restore the Oriental schismatic bodies to communion with Rome, and according to the common teaching of theologians these documents are infallible states of doctrine.

	Singing of Psalms: Part XII
		Not only does the canon serve as an authoritative rule of what practice is permitted in worship, but it also supplies the text to be recited in certain specified acts of worship.
		Given that the Lord has instituted worship song as a permanent ordinance for his church, the inclusion of the Book of Psalms in the canon of Scripture demonstrates that the provision of a text for this ordinance is a divinely intended function of the canon.
		The biblical testimony is that worship song is a divine ordinance, that the text of worship song is a divine provision through inspired prophets, that the Lord has deposited such a text in the canon of Scripture, and that the canon is sufficient for the religious functions for which it was given.

		It is not surprising then that the Christians rejected this Jewish Old Testament canon, and continued to use the Septuagint, a Greek version of the Old Testament produced in Alexandria beginning in the third century BC.
		It is this edited canon of the Old Testament that is now in almost universal use, and is regarded as authoritative amongst traditions as diverse as Presbyterianism and Jehovah's Witnesses.

	Jerry Stokes Hisword3 Canon
		The word canon, in classical Greek, is properly a straight rod, "a rule" in the widest sense, and especially in the phrases "the rule of the Church," "the rule of faith," "the rule of truth," The first direct application of the term canon to the Scriptures seems to be in the verses of Amphilochius (cir.
		If the entire canon of the Old Testament were formed, as some allege, by one man, or by one set of men, in a single age, then it is obvious that the books must have been separated into three groups on the basis of some material differences in their contents.
		On the contrary, he limited the term "canonical" in its strict sense to the books which are inspired and received by the Jews, and denied that in the support of doctrine the books of Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus were of unquestioned authority, though long custom had entitled them to respect.

		His book is a good historical introduction to the Christian canon for both undergraduate and seminary audiences.
		His rather cautious analysis of the hermeneutical clues one might derive from the canonizing process (J. Sanders) or from its canonical product (B. Childs) is less satisfying and incisive, and will need to be supplemented with works that treat the idea of canon more theologically.
