Mark HowardHOST
right.
Kameron DeVasherHOST
So for some reason, he said these are the ones that are going to be in the canon.
Kameron DeVasherHOST
Canon meaning that's the standard.
Kameron DeVasherHOST
That is the... what's another word I'm looking for, but it's the collection.
Kameron DeVasherHOST
Yeah, it's the collection of books that we're going to keep here as the scriptures.
speaker_10NARRATOR
corruptions consisting in the willful and deliberate mistranslation of various passages of the sacred text, and all directly aimed against those doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church which the Reformers were most anxious to uproot.
speaker_10NARRATOR
They did give the people an open Bible, but what a Bible! And Canon Dixon, the cultured Anglican historian, referring to the fact that copies of Tyndale's Bible were burnt, makes these striking remarks.
speaker_10NARRATOR
If the clergy had acted thus simply because they would have the people kept ignorant of the word of God, they would have been without excuse, but it was not so.
speaker_10NARRATOR
Every one of the little volumes containing portions of the sacred text that was issued by Tyndale contained also a prologue and notes written with such hot fury of vituperation against the prelates and clergy, the monks and friars, the rites and ceremonies of the church, as was hardly likely to commend it to the favor of those who were attacked.
Jeffrey O. BrownNARRATOR
He must increase and I must decrease.
Jeffrey O. BrownNARRATOR
The Call to Canon.
Jeffrey O. BrownNARRATOR
Again, as with our call to Christ, what I am suggesting may sound a bit odd.
Jeffrey O. BrownNARRATOR
Is being a canonical, Bible-believing, Bible-behaving Christian and pastor not just common sense? Of course it is.
Michael KrugerGUEST
And so the Word of God's authority, as you put it, is central to the health of the church.
Michael KrugerGUEST
And this is why this doctrine has to be I've done my work in canon.
Michael KrugerGUEST
Canon is not about soul scripture per se, but canon lays the foundation for soul scripture because if we can know which books are from God, then they can function as our highest authority.
Michael KrugerGUEST
So you need the canon discussion to undergird soul scripture, and they really go hand in hand.
Sean McDowellHOST
I'm glad you brought that up.
Michael KrugerGUEST
Yeah, so lots of ways to go there.
Michael KrugerGUEST
But if the Scripture is the highest authority over everything, then it's also the highest authority over how I authenticate it.
Michael KrugerGUEST
And this is one of the points I make in my book, Canon Revisited, for those who love it or maybe those who disagree.
William AlbrechtHOST
The principle is clear.
William AlbrechtHOST
There is a historical recognition and an authoritative, by the way, only an authoritative body can do it, an authoritative identifying of the biblical canon that required real discernment.
William AlbrechtHOST
There is no way around it.
William AlbrechtHOST
And here is my closing challenge for those that aren't Catholic and those that don't believe in this.
Cy KellettHOST
Go ahead.
Stephen BoyceGUEST
So facts is kind of a play on words facts in the sense of recovering the facts, but it's also an acronym fathers, Apocrypha, Canon text scripture.
Stephen BoyceGUEST
So that, that it was kind of funny.
Stephen BoyceGUEST
I was working with an Anglican before I created the podcast and we always, anytime somebody says something true, it was facts.
Michael KrugerGUEST
And so, yes, there needs to be a way to take the popular level of this and sort of say, why does it matter to the masses? So, yes, I have a blog series on my website.
Michael KrugerGUEST
So some might know I have a website called Canon Fodder, which, of course, is a pun.
Michael KrugerGUEST
It's just MichaelJKruger.com.
Michael KrugerGUEST
But I talk about canon issues on there.
13 MINS LATER
Sean McDowellHOST
We've got some other conversations coming up on Manuscripts and other stuff coming up on Apologetics you won't want to miss.
Sean McDowellHOST
If you want us to have Mike back, tell us.
Sean McDowellHOST
We could do a deep dive into Canon or some other topic up your lane.
Sean McDowellHOST
We would do that in a heartbeat.
Tony EvansSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Luke, you write this.
Tony EvansSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
John, I want you to close out the bouquet." And so what you have over 1,500 years are different books compiled by God so that there would be a bouquet called the Bible, which is the canon of Scripture.
Tony EvansSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[upbeat music]
Dan WallaceNARRATOR
Dr. Tony Evans, reminding us that the Bible isn't just a collection of ancient texts.
David GusheeGUEST
There's a fair amount of deconstruction that is done in the book of Job and by the book of Job.
Jeremy JerniganHOST
It would be interesting if this was the only book you had to go off of, right? Like if this, like the rest of the Canon is erased, we don't know it anymore.
Jeremy JerniganHOST
We just have the book of Job would be an interesting way to interact with, with God.
David GusheeGUEST
It would, um, I mean, in job is embedded in the wisdom literature, which is embedded in the Hebrew Bible, et cetera, et cetera.
