I found this historical account (NOT written by a Catholic) which I thought was very interesting on the canon of Scripture. You might find it interesting as well. It doesn't not definitively conclude that Protestants or Catholics are right or wrong, but brings a historical perspective the the debate which is useful.

The Old Testament Canon

God bless.

***I found this historical account (NOT written by a Catholic)***

This is not the case. He is a Catholic by his own admission.

Steve Brandt, the author of the article, includes an anotated bibliography on his website with the following autobiographical note:

Catholicism and Fundamentalism by Karl Keating

I read this book years ago because I wanted to understand Catholicism better. Should I regard it as Christian or as a Cult? That was my question. When I was halfway through the book I began to feel good about Catholicism. In fact, it was much less weird than I had thought. By the time I finished, I was scared. I was afraid that Catholicism was the one true Church - a position I eventually decided to accept.

PhD training has taught me to check sources. Why did you conclude he was NOT a Catholic???
