Is the Biblical Canon Closed (and other related questions)?

3 years ago

In the final video in this 5-part series, Lee Martin McDonald and Mike Licona discuss whether the canon of the Bible is closed. Would McDonald add a book to the Bible not presently in it or omit some literature many believe are pseudepigraphal? If someone discovered a letter the apostle Paul wrote that had been lost until now, should we consider including it in the Bible? Were the biblical authors aware that they were writing Scripture? What is 3 Corinthians and the Diatessaron?
