"P.S. to Kolokotronis: from an Orthodox point of view, what say ye?"
I say I agree. God inspired The Church and that inspiration is manifested in Holy Tradition, what The Church always and everywhere believed. That was the infallible yardstick by which The Church measured the "contending" writings for inclusion in the canon of scripture. But truth be told, the only real difficulties presented were Hebrews and Revelations. As to the rest, by the 370s Christians knew what was "in" and what wasn't. For example, for Christians of the 4th century, the idea that the Gnostic "Gospel of Thomas" would be included in the canon was a laughable as it is today. And the reason for that is that The Church knows and teaches us what Christians have always and everywhere believed in this regard.
(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."Dan Brown, believes that the "patriarchal church" suppressed this supposed gospel. What a maroon.
