TheoSource: Sources for Studying the Biblical Canon

In response to a note from a reader, I have ransacked my database and library in order to construct a list of resources on the subject of the Biblical Canon. There are many more works to reference, and I'll add them where I can. But, for starters, this should keep anyone interested very busy.

This list is pulled from the TheoSource Theological Works list (which has been updated, as of 4/20/09). Titles are categorized according to a modified Dewey Decimal system of classification. A major modification is centennial divisions. Resources are listed in bold, black print. Sources of recommendations culled from bibliographies, footnotes, and texts are noted in blue beneath the resource's title. Resources without recommendations are included as significant although a forthright recommendation was not found.

Your feedback is welcomed.
