The Authors of the Canon: The New Testament Canon with Michael Kruger

Summary

This sermon addresses the misconception that New Testament writers were unaware they were composing Scripture, a view held by both Christians and scholars. The speaker argues that understanding their awareness of divine authority impacts how we view the canon's formation and the nature of these books. The takeaway is that recognizing the authors' intent as writing Scripture prevents elevating the church's authority above that of the biblical texts themselves.
