Even Bible scholars admit lots of other books were written at the time the Bible documents were written, how do we know we have the right ones in our Bible?

Didn’t a group of church leaders get together at a council or something and just make a decision on that?

To answer, first let’s review what we’ve done so far.

We started with looking at ancient manuscripts, dating them—the foundation for all other truth claims.

Then, we looked at scriptures of other religions that have little to no verification based on history and truth and in contrast, how the Christian faith is both historical and evidential.

We then looked at the historical anchors (or lack thereof in the case of non-canonical books) for the Old Testament, Apocrypha, New Testament, and the Gnostic Gospels

In this lesson we are going to look at Canonicity, how we got the 66 books we have in our Bibles and in addition to that we’ll look at translations and what is the best one to read.
