"The collection of 66 books that the Christian Church recognized as being inspired speaks as the very words of God in many places.."

The Cristian Church recognizes a collection of 73 books. This author seems a little weak on the historic Christian canon.

OK, let’s say the author is weak on the Christian cannon, what ‘s your response to someone who tells you that scripture is not 100% the word of God?

If they weren’t accepted universally, they aren’t canon. Isn’t that what being “catholic” is supposed to be about?

Nope....the Roman Catholic Church recognizes 73 books. Christians recognize 66.

You did get one part right...about being weak on the historic Christian canon.

I don't think this is quite true. The deuterocanonical books have been preserved by the churches, but are not inspired, as the autographs Scriptures comprising the 66 books as laid out by the translators of the English Bible are.
