How Do We Know What Books Should Be Included in the Bible?

Books such as Enoch, the Gospel of Thomas, the Epistle of Barnabas, and many others were composed at roughly the same time as the books in our Bible, but why were they not included as part of the "canon" that we know today? In this week's episode, Dr. David K. Bernard explains why our modern Bible includes only 66 books, who decided what to include, and why other books were left out. 

We previously recorded an episode titled “Should Apostolics Read the Apocrypha?” for those who are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rLKZCYu7cs
