Welcome to the final episode of season one of the Faith Chapel podcast, hosted by Pastor Jason. As we conclude this season, we delve into the fascinating history of how the New Testament of the Bible was formed and why certain books were included in its canon.

In this episode, we explore the concept of the 'canon' and discuss why some texts were deemed authoritative revelations from God while others were not. We examine historical figures and contentious writings like Marcion, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Didache, providing a deeper understanding of the meticulous process early Christians used to preserve the integrity of the scriptures.

Join us as we unravel the stringent criteria used by early church fathers to validate the books of the New Testament. We also discuss the challenges they faced, the rigorous selection process, and how their dedication has impacted what we understand as divinely inspired scripture today.
