I think he means that he discovered that the word "canon" (as in the biblical canon) only existed after the NT and thus the "canon" encompasses the NT, thus making it not fan fiction.

I don't think it warranted a post, nor an explanation, yet here we are.

I'm trying to find this fucking book in spanish and it's proving to be near impossible. Do I have to read the bible and the early church fathers before I read it?

Church fathers no, Bible—I would say, hardly. Knowledge of Italian history and Florentine political figures is more important.

Read the notes and footnotes and introductions so that you get the full context

On one hand, I'm disappointed seeing how retarded and uninformed people here are. On the other hand, you did learn something, making the whole place slightly less dumb on average.
