Which book is last to be accepted into the Canon of Scripture?

• A. Revelation
• B. Hebrews
• C. Acts
• D. Jude

Answer: (A)

Canon formation happened over centuries, with some writings gaining broad acceptance earlier and others taking longer to prove their authority. Revelation was the one that faced the most hesitation because of questions about who wrote it, when it was written, and its highly symbolic, prophetic style. Early Christians debated its place in the collection, and while many accepted it, others were cautious, which slowed its universal ratification. By the late 4th century, however, it was affirmed alongside the other New Testament writings, making Revelation the last to be widely accepted into the canon.
