There were many, many early Christian writings in existence. Many of them were contradictory.

The ones we find in the New Testament didn't magically appear one day at the end of a copy of the Old Testament.

It wasn't until much later that a committee met and decided which of the early writings would get that special honor.

I agree, this is much ado about nothing.

Thanks for that clarification. I'm not a seminarian, and am only generally familiar with this subject. It is interesting, but not earth shattering..
