Consensus vs Authority in Canon Formation

This chapter critically examines the reliance on consensus among God's people for validating the biblical canon, arguing that such reliance is flawed without an authoritative source. It contrasts Catholicism's adherence to church authority against Protestantism's more subjective consensus-based approach, exploring the implications for theological discourse. Additionally, it highlights inconsistencies in Protestant views regarding the church's role, human reason, and the determination of scripture, ultimately calling into question the validity of their criteria.
