In this episode of Through Theology in a Year, C. Michael Patton explores how the canon of Scripture was recognized rather than arbitrarily chosen. He challenges some common fables of canonicity—like the idea that books were accepted based purely on age, apostolic authorship, or language—and instead shows how the early church organically received certain writings as authoritative. It's not about creating a list but about recognizing what had already been carrying the weight of divine authority.
