“The authority of the Bible itself — its very identity as authentic Sacred Scripture, the list of its very books -— was established by the practice of the Church from the first centuries.”

Well, it may have passed through the hands of the church, but it, an its authority, came from God, not from any men.

That's exactly right, boogie! Its authority comes from God, and this was passed on through the hands of the Church, deriving from God, not men.
