Bible Question: Why are there 66 Books in the Bible |
Bible Answer: The canon used to determine which ancient books were in fact inspired and therefore worthy to be included in scrture only found 66, 39 in the Old Testament and 26 in the New Testament. While there are many books written on religion only these 66 were considered to be worthy ( inspired) by God. We know the Old Testament canon existed before Jesus and in fact Jesus read from scripture. Jesus never said this book or that book was missing or should not have been included. So for me that make me reasonably certain the Old Testament canon is correct. The New Testament had to be written by eye witnesses and/or Apostles. In fact much of the New Testament was written and read by the Apostles. So if there was anything wrong or something missing they surely would have so stated that. Therefore the New Testament canon is also reliable. |
