About this episode

Rebecca discusses the New Testament canon and related topics with Dr. Peter Gurry and Dr. John Meade.

Rebecca talks with John Meade and Peter Gurry about the New Testament canon, “lost gospels,” and why New Testament writers sometimes quote the Old Testament differently. They address common objections—Constantine, politics, the Apocrypha—and why studying Scripture’s history tends to deepen faith rather than undermine it.
