Hey guys, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is Dialin. In this episode, I sit down with

Dr. Nathan Boosnitz, who is the dean of the Master Seminary, and I ask him about biblical canonicity,

which is essentially the idea behind how we got our Bible. So much of biblical authority and biblical

sufficiency is under attack today, and the initial wave of that attack is a doubt that is

thrown at how our Bible was compiled and assembled in the first place. You'll be well served to

listen to this episode with Dr. Boosnitz. Let's dial in.

Well, Dr. Boosnitz, thank you for sitting down.

Can you tell us briefly who you are, your background, what we need to know about Dr. Nathan Boosnitz?

Yeah, Johnny, thank you for letting me be here. I have the joy and privilege of serving at the Master's Seminary. I serve primarily in the administration.

I also teach church history.

And then I get to be an elder at Grace Community Church, which is just awesome.

So the Master's Seminary and Grace Church, that's my life and where I love to be.

Well, I love it. Well, thank you for your time. One of the things I

wanted to talk to you about today is biblical canonicity, which is really the idea of how we got

our Bible. So much of biblical authority is under attack today because this topic of canonicity

is also kind of gilded with much ambiguity by the outside world. So what I wanted to ask you is,

how did we get our Bible and how do we know that the 66 books that compose our current Bible

are the books that we need and are all we need for a life of godliness? What would you say to someone

asking that question? Yeah, first of all,

it's a great question, and it's an important question. And it's a question to which I think we have

really good answers. So we could delve into a lot of details about a lot of things. And that's the

temptation, I think, for many people when they start to study canonicity is they get in the weeds
