THIS MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

Around the year 320, the church historian Eusebius sorted Christian books into acknowledged, disputed, and set-aside. Which of these sat in his disputed pile?

The answer

Eusebius lists James, Jude, 2 Peter, and 2 and 3 John among the disputed books — 'spoken against,' he says, yet known to most churches. All five sit in every New Testament printed today. Being questioned and being included turned out not to be opposites.

Why it’s interesting

Eusebius wasn't attacking these books; he was reporting what the churches around him actually did with them. His inventory is one of the clearest windows we have into a canon still settling three centuries in.
