You can own a Bible, read it regularly, and still hesitate when its words challenge what you want, what you fear, or what everyone around you believes. Trust becomes real when you have to build something on it. That is why it’s important to understand how the 27 books of the New Testament were recognized as the Holy Word of God. These official books, called the canon of Scripture, were not a random collection of writings, but carried the eyewitness testimonies of Jesus’ apostles and those closest to Him. But why did some writings become Scripture, while others did not? Across seven days, you'll discover the story of determining the New Testament canon: from the writings carried between early churches, questions about Constantine and Nicaea, the Gnostic Gospels, the Apocrypha, and believers who protected Scripture when Roman authorities tried to burn it.
