393
The Synod (Council) of Hippo in 393 AD is generally cited as the first church council to formally list the 27 books of the New Testament as canonical. This list was reaffirmed at subsequent North African councils (notably Carthage 397 and 419) and echoes the 367 AD festal letter of Athanasius, which also enumerated the same 27 books.
