HH #6: The Canon of Scripture: New Testament
Episode 6 of Household Hermeneutics is here, and today we're taking a look at the New Testament canon of Scripture!
We believe that the 27 books we have in our New Testament are exactly the right books to have. We are going to look back at history and in the Bible itself to find out how the New Testament canon was formed, and why we can have confidence in it's inspired accuracy, and the accuracy of the entire Canon.
