Reasons why the Bible had to be compiled into its present form by early Christians
- The eyewitnesses of Jesus Christ were being killed.
- To prevent information from getting lost/distorted.
- Due to the expansion of the church/increased number of believers/who needed material to refer to.
- To counteract false teachings/teachers who were confusing the believers.
- To ensure that the same doctrines/beliefs were being taught to all Christians.
