	The adjective, "canonical," developed a secondary connotation. Those things that are "canonical" have been measured and have met the standard set by a canon.

			A "canon" was originally a measuring stick. We still use the word in that sense when we talk about "canons of good taste," that is, the standards by which we determine what is and is not appropriate.

			The adjective, "canonical," developed a secondary connotation. Those things that are "canonical" have been measured and have met the standard set by a canon.

			"Canon" then became applied to the ''list'' of people or things that have met the standard or standards used to judge them. When a saint is ''canonized,'' their name is added to the Church's official list of those whose virtues are worthy of admiration and imitation. When a scripture is declared "canonical," it is added to the list ("canon") of books inspired by God.

			The concept of "canon" as "an official list of the books inspired by God" developed in the [[patristic era]] in response to questions about the gospels, Paul's letters, other epistles, the letter to the Hebrews, the Book of Revelation, and various and sundry gnostic writings. Many people drew up their own lists of books of the [[TNK\|Old]] and [[NT\|New Testaments]]. The list of [[New Testament]] books that the Church considers inspired by God did not reach its present form until the fifth century (382-419 AD).

			It is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anachronism anachronism] to retroject the Christian, patristic concept of "a list of books certified by the Church as inspired by God" into the pre-Christian history of the [[OT\|Jewish scriptures.]] The discovery of the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] shows how much variety there was in the last few centuries before Jesus and the first century afterward.
