80 – Through Theology in a Year – The Canon of Scripture Is Not Closed
byC. Michael Patton

#80 – The Canon of Scripture Is Not Closed
Did God ever close the canon of Scripture? In this episode, we explore how the biblical canon was formed-not by decree, but by recognition. From Moses to the apostles, revelation carried its own authority, needing no council to validate it. The canon was accepted organically, as God’s people simply received what He had spoken.
We also discuss whether the canon is technically closed or only practically so, and why Protestants-unlike any other tradition-are uniquely free to examine the evidence and follow it wherever it leads, even engaging honestly with the Apocrypha. The Church never shut the door on revelation; God simply quit speaking.

    #79 - The History of the Acceptance of the Apocrypha In this episode, we trace the fascinating and often controversial journey of the Apocrypha-those books sitting between the Old and New Testaments in some Bibles but missing entirely from others. Why were these books accepted by some traditions and rejected by others? How did Jerome, […]
