Who Chose the Books of the Bible?

Who decided which books belong in the Bible? Did church councils “choose” the canon, or simply recognize what was already Scripture?

In Part 2 of this series on the history of the Bible, we explore how the early church preserved, circulated, and confirmed the biblical canon. We also explain the difference between accepted Scripture and later writings that were excluded.

Key Scriptures: Mark 12:28–31, 2 Peter 3:15–16, Colossians 4:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:27
