The dissertation identifies the beacons of canon development during the first five hundred years of
Christianity. These beacons are processes, events and certain persons from general as well as
dogmatic history, which played a formative role in canon development. The beacons are placed
within the historical, geographical and theological milieu, in which it took place. It especially
emphasises the role of human conduct and decisions in the process of canon development. It
provides a background of the development of a complex Judaism as the origin of Christianity, and
demonstrates the continuous impact of Judaism on Christian canon development. The differences
presented between these two independent religions are also mentioned. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics)
