Session 1: The Origins of Canon

Where did the New Testament come from? How were the books and letters selected for inclusion, and why did the early church develop a canon of scripture? Professor Michael Kruger explores the history and origins of the New Testament canon.

This is part of a series on "Why These Books?".
