How We Got the Bible - The Slow and Careful Development of the Canon

To discern truth from error can be a lengthy process. Determining the canon of Scripture, separating authoritative apostolic writings from spurious texts, was no easy task and took centuries of debate, discernment, and consensus-building in the early church.

There was no presumption of secret knowledge or fiat declaration by any one individual. It was not a matter of any one person's private revelation or dictate.

The biblical canon was not established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The canon was largely already in existence by this time, though some books remained disputed (the "Antilegomena").
