Was the content of the Bible decided by a church council? with Dr. Michael Svigel - EP11

from Deep Wells with Michael Lusk · host Michael Lusk

This episode of Deep Wells features Dr. Michael Svigel as he debunks common misconceptions about the development of the biblical canon. Contrary to what is popularly believed, the canon was not formalized by a council or through a vote. Instead, the process was organic, hinging on the inherent qualities of the writings, such as their apostolic origins and functional authority. Dr. Svigel elaborates on the misunderstanding of terms like 'canonical' and how early church leaders discerned authoritative texts amid circulating writings. This discussion highlights the complex historical journey to our present-day Bible.To learn more about Dr. Michael Svigel and his publications, visit https://www.dts.edu/employee/michael-svigel/ Dr. Svigel’s newest book, Essentials of Christian Theologyhttps://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Christian-Theology-Foundations-Faith/dp/0764245600 Urban Legends of Church History: 40 Common Misconceptionshttps://www.amazon.com/Urban-Legends-Church-History-Misconceptions/dp/1433649837
