=== New Testament === The Catholic [[New Testament]] (27 books) emerged through ecclesial usage and discernment over centuries. Early controversies (e.g., [[Gnosticism]], [[Marcionism]]) prompted the Church to clarify the authentic apostolic writings. * '''c. 170 AD:''' [[Muratorian Fragment]] lists most NT books. * '''367 AD:''' [[Athanasius of Alexandria|St. Athanasius]]βs ''Festal Letter'' lists the 27-book NT canon. * '''382 AD:''' [[Pope Damasus I]]βs ''Decretum Gelasianum'' confirms the 73-book canon. * '''393β397 AD:''' [[Synod of Hippo]] and [[Council of Carthage (397)|Carthage]] reaffirm the same canon. * '''405 AD:''' [[Pope Innocent I]] endorses this canon for the universal Church.
