Session 2 - How We Got The Bible

from Catholic Doctrine Bible Study Hosted by Jim Hawk

Key Points: The bible is NOT a science book or history book. It is a LIBRARY, calling us to an eternal RELATIONSHIP with God. The bible is not DICTATED by God. God INSPIRED the human authors, but they used their own words, styles, emphasis. The bible is ALL TRUE, for the sake of our salvation. Not necessarily always LITERALLY true. (See 1st Session of Old Testament for more detail on “Truth in the bible.) The books of the bible were chosen among many others and ratified by the CATHOLIC church, guided by the Holy Spirit, in the late 300’s. ALL Christians agree on the Catholic choice of the 27 New Testament books. Martin Luther error on choice of books- no “keys”-1200 years late.
