Show Notes

One of the questions I get most often is about the canon of the New Testament. I got the question yesterday, after a lecture (on some other topic). The question is actually a series of related questions: We have twenty-seven books in it. Who decided? On what grounds? And when? I’ve dealt with these matters on the blog before. Maybe it’s time to do it again! Read by John Paul Middlesworth
