In the Pews: How did the Bible come to be?

This week in the video blog, pastors Bob and Darcy respond to a viewer's question about how the Bible came to be. It's an important question, as its implications deal with the authority of scripture: where that came from and how inerrant or powerful that authority is.

The processes by which the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) and the New Testament came to be are unique. For the sake of time, we respond specifically to the canonization (the official "you-made-the-cut-you're-in-the-bible" word) of the New Testament, a process which took place over a span of 400 years. This canonization has forever effected the course of Christian faith and has provided us with the gospels and letters you find if you open a Bible. Tune in to hear more, and thanks for watching!
