Criteria for Biblical Canonization

The Canonization of Biblical Books: Criteria and Key Exclusions In this episode of Faith and Logic, we delve into the criteria for the canonization of biblical books. Addressing common questions such as why the Bible contains 66 books and not more, we explore the traditional criteria for both the Old and New Testament canons. The discussion includes insights from Dr. Michael Krueger's 'Canon Revisited' and his self-authenticating model. We also explain why certain books, like the Gospel of Thomas, were excluded, focusing on factors such as apostolic origin, doctrinal consistency, historical reliability, and the reception by early Christian communities. 00:00 Introduction to Canonization Criteria 01:06 Traditional Canon Criteria for the Old Testament 02:37 Traditional Canon Criteria for the New Testament 04:18 Reasons for Exclusion of Certain Books 09:40 Debated but Included Books 12:21 Dr. Michael Krueger's Self-Authenticating Model 18:57 Summary and Key Takeaways
