Why is it historically anachronistic to apply the categories of New Testament scripture, apocryphal literature, and church fathers to the ante-Nicene early Christian writings?
ChatGPT
Applying those categories anachronistically to ante-Nicene early Christian writings is problematic because those categories developed over time as the Christian tradition evolved. During the ante-Nicene period, there wasn't a clear-cut distinction between what we now consider canonical scripture, apocryphal texts, and writings by church fathers. These distinctions emerged gradually as the church grappled with theological debates and sought to establish orthodoxy. So, retroactively applying these categories imposes a later framework onto an earlier period, which can distort our understanding of how early Christians viewed and utilized various texts.
