For centuries, the Bible has been the most printed, most translated, and most argued-over book in the world. But somewhere between the apostles who wrote it and the book on your shelf, someone had to decide which writings belonged—and which didn’t. At least that’s how the story is usually told. CBN Films’ Oracles of God: Creating the Canon explores how the 27 books of the New Testament came to be recognized as the inspired Word of God. Renowned biblical scholars, historians, and archaeologists trace the history of the canon—from believers fleeing Roman soldiers with scrolls in hand to heroes of the early church like Jerome debating the Apocrypha. Find out exactly what happened at Nicaea in A.D. 325, and what the role of Emperor Constantine really was. Behind myth and hearsay is the true story of the canon—and what it means for you today.
