"New Testament formation" as a book-category covers studies of how the writings now collected in the New Testament originated, were transmitted, and came to be recognized as authoritative. It includes historical and literary inquiries into authorship, dating, authors’ communities, and oral and written sources; textual criticism and manuscript transmission; the processes of editing, compilation, and canonization; and the role of early Christian practice, liturgy, and church leaders (patristics) in shaping the text. Interdisciplinary approaches—historical-critical, literary, socio-rhetorical, archaeological, and theological—are typical, as are works oriented to scholars, students, or informed general readers interested in the origins and early reception of Christian Scripture.
