How Do We Know Which Books Belong in the New Testament?

Описание: How do we know what books the Bible should include? Miracles authenticate that something is really from God. There is good historical evidence that the apostles did miracles to back up their claims, so the New Testament should include the books that the apostles said were from God. The early church did the historical research necessary to conclude that the 27 books in the New Testament were really messages from God and that books like the so-called “Gospel of Thomas” were not. Early church councils like the Council of Nicaea didn’t make the Bible; they merely verified which books were really affirmed by the apostles.
