Excellent article - I have always been curious why some Books were removed, while others weren’t. Thanks.

I read 1 Maccabbees to the Offspring last month. It's one of their favorites, and it fit right in with the "Greek and Persian Wars" course I was listening to on CD.

“There is no divinely inspired “table of contents” for the Bible, therefore, Christians need an authority, like the infallible Church established by Christ, to discern which books are the divinely inspired ones. (Indeed, even if there were such a “table of contents” list, we would need an authority to tell if the list itself were inspired.) Even many Evangelical Protestant Bible scholars admit this”

Great points!
