In this video, we explore how the Church came to recognize the canon of Scripture—not through councils or creeds alone, but by hearing the voice of the Shepherd. We trace the story of the canon through: The Vincentian Canon (“believed everywhere, always, by all” – St. Vincent of Lérins, Commonitorium, §2) Jesus’ own words in John 10:27 (“My sheep hear My voice…”) The role of early Christians like Jerome, Rufinus, John of Salisbury, and the Reformers Why the Deuterocanonical books were respected, but not universally received And how the 66 books of the Protestant Bible continue to resonate with the faithful This isn’t just about history—it’s about how Christ’s voice has been heard across generations. The canon is not imposed. It is recognized.
