Christ In the Canon and God in the Genealogy - Church Then & Now E5

In this episode, a continuation of the conversation of doctrine, Ethan Hoover & Matthew Maher discuss the "canon" - not to be confused with a "cannon." Their discussion explores the definition of the word, the criteria for how books/scrolls of the Bible came be accepted & collected, and who the true author of this book was.
