Fifth Council of Carthage: Synod of the African Church 397 AD

The 5th Council of Carthage, which met on the 28th of August, 397 AD reaffirmed the canons of prior Synod of Hippo Regius from four years earlier. Among other issues, it sought to clarify the question of the Christian Biblical Canon, and what that entailed, something that would not be revisited by the Western Church until the time of the Reformation.
