    When were all the books of the New Testament first added to the Old Testament to create the 66 book Bible we now know?

    Question #46259. Asked by gmackematix.

    Kainantu

    About the middle of the second century that under the rubric of Scripture the New Testament writings were assimilated to the Old.

    This is a rather pathetic answer.
    So I’ll continue till I get a more specific answer. Unless, of course, the Intelligencia does it beforehand…

    It's as K says round about the 2nd century. There is very little evidence to give an exact date but the OT was regularly read in early church services, and it would have been natural to add a reading from some authentic document about the life and death of Jesus. The book of Acts would be included as a continuation of Luke's Gospel - which was the only authentic account of the beginnings of Christianity.

    By the end of the 2nd century the four Gospels and Acts were in accepted use, plus the 13 epistles of Paul. There is less evidence about the remaining books as some were accepted in the eastern church, but not in the west.
