Guest: Dr. John Meade | Dr. Arnold interviews Dr. Meade about the origin of the Bible and the criteria for canonicity. Topics of conversation include: 1) Where do we get the terms Bible and Canon, and what do we mean by them? 2) How did the church decide which books belonged in the Canon? 3) Which books were disputed by the early church, and why? 4) Why is the Catholic Bible different from the Protestant Bible?

Dr. John Meade is associate professor of Old Testament at Phoenix Seminary. He is the co-director of the Text and Canon Institute, as well as the author of The Biblical Canon Lists from Early Christianity (Oxford University Press, 2018). Dr. Meade holds a PhD from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
