#12065 Who Decided the Bible? Trusting the Canon, and Church Councils - William Albrecht

Listen Later

William Albrecht tackles key canon debates—John 8, Nicaea, apocryphal books, and translation changes. Can we trust the Church’s authority on Scripture? Find out now!

Questions Covered:

  • 06:35 – Considering scholarship on Jn 8. How do we justify it being in the bible since it’s not in the earliest manuscripts?
  • 13:21 – How does the Church rectify other churches’ canons when they enter into communion?
  • 16:34 – Can you talk about Cyril Lucaris and the canon conflict
  • 19:03 – How do we relate to the oriental canon?
  • 20:42 – What is the council of Nicaea 1 and 2? Could there have been other books that were considered a part of the canon during those councils?
  • 22:23 – Book of Judith. It says Nebuchadnezzar was king of Assyria and I’ve heard it said that is historically incorrect. Can you talk about it?
  • 34:07 – Does Tobit 12:9 contradict Paul?
  • 37:23 – Could you elaborate how we could persuasively argue how we should trust the Church on the canon, especially for laymen who don’t want to get into the scholarship?
  • 44:13 – In Mark 10:13-16 a new translation. Question on if they changed the reference to the child from ‘him’ to ‘it’ to be inclusive?
  • 46:17 – I’ve heard that the doxology of the Our Father (for thine is the kingdom…etc.) is a marginal gloss, and not part of the original text of scripture. If that’s the case, why is it still in there?
  • 48:13 – Why should we trust these men to put the bible together and not others?
