Why do different Bibles have different books? What happened to ancient texts like Enoch, the Gospel of Thomas, or Susanna in Daniel 13? And no—despite what you've heard, the Council of Nicaea didn’t decide what belongs in your Bible.

In this eye-opening episode, Dylan and Jason dive into one of the most fascinating and misunderstood topics in Christian history: how we got the Bible. Together, they explore the formation of the biblical canon across centuries, separating fact from fiction and breaking down what was accepted, what was rejected, and why.

Topics Covered:

• What canon means and how early Christians recognized Scripture
• Why some books (like Enoch) were quoted but not canonized
• How the Greek Septuagint influenced Catholic and Orthodox Old Testaments
• The role of Church Fathers like Jerome and Augustine in shaping the canon
• A breakdown of key councils (Hippo, Carthage—not Nicaea!)
• Why books like the Gospel of Thomas or Shepherd of Hermas didn’t make the cut
• Differences between Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Ethiopian Bibles
• What the Reformation did—and didn’t do—to the biblical canon
• Debunking myths around “lost” books and conspiracy theories

Key Takeaways:

• Canon was recognized through usage, not voted into being
• Jude quoting Enoch doesn’t make Enoch Scripture—context matters
• Church tradition played a huge role—but not all traditions agree
• Despite differences, the core of the Bible has been incredibly consistent

Whether you're a curious believer, skeptical listener, or deep theology nerd, this episode brings historical clarity and gospel-centered truth to a topic that affects every Christian's faith foundation.

Listen in as Dylan and Jason unpack 2,000 years of biblical history in under an hour—no seminary degree required.

In this episode, we explore the sacred calling of biblical teaching—what it means to ‘preach the Word’ (2 Timothy 4:2) and ‘rightly handle the truth’ (2 Timothy 2:15) with both boldness and love. From Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to Paul’s charge to Timothy, we’ll break down Scripture’s commands for teachers, including how to correct error (Titus 1:13), encourage growth (Colossians 3:16), and avoid the pitfalls of pride (James 3:1) or shallow doctrine (1 Timothy 4:16). With insights from the early church and practical steps for today, this episode equips you to teach God’s Word faithfully, whether in a pulpit, small group, or everyday discipleship.
