Just for fun - chart of the contemporary New Testament canon
No, this does not reflect my beliefs, it reflects my curiosity.
- The standard canon of the New Testament is given divided into those books accepted by all major canons (blue) and those not universally accepted (orange). This includes the Coptic canon but not the Ethiopian as I don't have quick access to the number of chapters in the Ethiopian only books.
- The neo-canon (gray) include primarily the additional books added in A New New Testament, a resource available in Logos and used in some progressive Christian lectionaries.
- The number of chapters in a book determines the size of the arc assigned. I haven't found a good size so that the titles of the shorter books show ... but I'll continue working on it.
- Ultimately I also want to show the books that were at one time considered to be canonical in a major tradition but are no longer included.
- This is a first cut not a finished product.

As I read the description for this book, is this author advocating that the other writings not included in our current New Testament should be read and accepted as canon?

I'm staying out of this one ... there are too many definitions of canon that are theologically loaded and I don't know the author's definition of canon.
