Many Christians picture the Bible arriving whole: sixty-six books, bound in one cover, its table of contents as fixed as its words. Churches call themselves "Bible-believing," as if the book itself were the thing believed. Jesus never saw that book. Its list took shape over three centuries, and Christians still do not agree on all of it.
None of this is hidden; it is ordinary church history, and you don't need anyone's permission to look at it. Let's look together at who made the list, and at what Jesus said the Scriptures were for.
