"The Making of the New Testament" by Benjamin Wisner Bacon examines how the New Testament came to be. The author begins with an apparent contradiction, noting that early Christians didn't want strict rules but eventually created a set of sacred writings. The text explores the important parts that Jesus and Paul played, explaining how their teachings aimed to free faith from the law and introduce a fresh view of the relationship between God and people. This introduction sets the stage to explore the history of early Christian writings and their importance in influencing the faith.
