S1 E003 : Why Are There 66 Books in the Bible?

In this episode of Written and Read, we answer a question many people have asked: why does the Bible contain exactly sixty-six books?

We explore how the Old Testament was already recognized as Scripture in the time of Christ and how the New Testament writings were identified and received by the early church. Along the way, we address common misconceptions about church councils and examine why certain books were included while others were not.

This episode helps clarify how the canon of Scripture was recognized and why believers can trust that the Bible they hold is the Word of God.
