ECS Ministries (formerly Emmaus Correspondence School) has published a new book by Chuck Gianotti called The Formation of the New Testament. It is a great book for believers who want to help strengthen their faith and the understanding of others. It is easy to read and easy to understand, in spite of it's technical nature and makes a great gift for those struggling with the validity of Scripture.

The Formation of the New Testament:
Your No-Nonsense Guide to Understanding
Its Authenticity and Credibility.
The Christian faith rises or falls on the historical credibility of the Bible, particularly the New Testament documents. In today’s post-modern culture, Christians and those searching for answers face numerous questions including:
- Are the New Testament writings historically reliable?
- How do we know those books are authoritative?
- Who decided which documents to include?
- What about the apocryphal or deutero-canonical writings?
- Can we know for certain that the Bible is accurate and complete?
This book reduces the large volume of available (yet very technical) information on the subject by providing a concise analysis of the facts to help you gain confidence in the credibility of the New Testament canon.
