		canonization 
	Regarding the study of the Bible as a humanities course, canonization refers to the process by which the biblical writings, which were written over some 1,600 years, were tested and accepted into the sacred canon of Scripture.  Writings excluded from the canon were deemed common or forgeries. | |
