S1 E004 : Why Were Books Left Out of the Bible?

In this episode of Written and Read, we address a question many people have heard in conversations, books, and documentaries: were books left out of the Bible?

We examine what people are really referring to when they mention “lost books,” including the Apocrypha and Gnostic writings, and explain why these were never recognized as Scripture. By looking at apostolic authority, doctrinal consistency, and the recognition of God’s people, we clarify how the biblical canon was identified.

This episode helps remove confusion and strengthens confidence that the Bible we have today is complete and trustworthy.
