2 - Why the 66?

Why These Books and No Others? The Canon of Scripture Explained Where did the Bible come from, and how do we know these are the right books? This lesson tackles one of the most common and misunderstood questions in Christianity: the canon of Scripture. Far from being created by church councils or later tradition, the Bible was recognized as God’s Word because it carried God’s authority from the moment it was written. While other religious books existed, they were not inspired, not apostolic, and not consistent with the truth God had already revealed. In this study, we walk through how Israel recognized the Old Testament, how Jesus affirmed it, how the apostles were authorized by Christ, and why their writings were received as Scripture by the early church. We also explain why false gospels and later writings were rejected, and why the canon is closed and settled today. This lesson is about confidence, not controversy. God gave His Word, God preserved it, and God’s people recognized His voice.
