How We Got the Old Testament, part 1

How did we get the Old Testament canon? part 1

Why do Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Coptic Bibles have different books in them? Why were some books included in the Old Testament and others not?

There's a lot more on this topic that I would like to have said, but I'm sure I'll cover it later in some form.

Part 1 of 3 from Jay Carper at http://www.AmericanTorah.com.

In this video:

1. Introduction to the canon, the measuring stick of all theologies and religious texts.
2. Why different groups have different lists of books in their Bibles.
3. How the Old Testament was formed.
4. How we didn't get the canon.
5. Four useful criteria used to determine if a book should be included in the canon.
