The Muratorian Fragment, traditionally dated at the end of the second century, is by far the earliest known list of the books of the New Testament. It is therefore an important milestone in understanding the formation of the Christian canon of scriptures. The traditional date of the fragment, however, was questioned in 1973 by Albert C. Sundberg, Jr., in an article of the Harvard Theological Review that has since been generally ignored or dismissed. This book examines afresh the traditional dating of the fragment in a study that concurs with Sundberg's findings. Arguing for a later placing of the fragment, the author shows that the entire history of the Christian Bible must be recast as a much longer and more gradual process. As a result, the decisive period of canonical history moves from the end of the second century into the midst of the fourth.

... 35 Markions skriftsamling hade inget monopol ens bland markioniterna själva. 36 Markions val av något som liknar vårt Lukasevangelium innebär inte nödvändigtvis att han medvetet förkastade den allt mer populära samlingen av fyra evangelier, utan skulle också kunna bero på att han var fostrad i en miljö där endast detta evangelium användes. 37 I vilket fall som helst skulle han komma att behöva försvara sitt evangelium i en kontext där samlingen av fyra evangelier blev allt mer populär. ...
