The Canon of Scripture

Church HistorySteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides insights into the formation of the New Testament and the Canon of Scripture. He argues that none of the books of the Bible were lost and that the Catholic Church did not change the Bible but rather excised irrelevant stuff during the Middle Ages. Furthermore, the Canon was not a product of a decision-making body but had already been recognized and accepted by the early Church. Gregg emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context of the writings in the New Testament and recognizing which ones were written by apostles and which ones were disputed.
