The presentation will take place following Great Vespers at 5:00 p.m. and will focus on the historical development of the New Testament canon and the process by which the early Church recognized the sacred writings received as Scripture.
According to the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania media office, the lecture will examine the role of apostolic tradition, liturgical use, and the witness of the faithful in discerning and preserving the books of the New Testament within the life of the Church. Participants will also have an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion following the presentation.
