What is the Bible? TFS04: How We Got the Bible - Four 'A's

What is the Bible? How did we get the Bible and was it a chosen for us by a group of men at some council? What is the difference between God-breathed inspired Scripture and pseudopigrapha or the apocrypha of the Roman Catholic church. Andrew gives a memorable mnemonic to remember the process of canonisation with the "4 A's of Canonisation" Apostolicity, Antiquity, Acceptance, and Agreement of texts to discover or uncover the canon of Scripture which was closed approximately 95 AD. These issues and more are examined and discussed with Andrew Hamilton, Bible Teacher and author for truthforsaints.com and Philosophy Professor, author, and speaker Dr. Ken Hochstetter.
