Dr. John Meade was kind enough to share some of what he's learned about the canon of Scripture.  Thank you, John! (I apologize for the less-than-ideal audio quality, since the COVID virus has slowed down internet speeds.)  Links to his books and articles can be found here, and you can learn more about The Text & Canon Institute here.  The book he recommends at the end is A Christian’s Pocket Guide to How We Got the Bible by Lanier.
