Speaker: Isaac Gagarinas - The Bible is a composition of 66 books. But why these books? Why not other books? The goal of this class is to consider the criteria used for including certain books in the biblical canon (specifically focusing on the New Testament) and not others. As we explore, it is evident that the early church did not subjectively or forcefully choose the books in our Bible. Rather, they accepted and received them as inherently authoritative. The church had faithful reasons to do so, and you do too.
