Apostolic? (What about Luke (Paul), Mark (Peter), James and Jude?)
- Orthodox? (Does it teach the same things as the books already established as scripture? Same as what we know to be true?)
- Was the book in question widely received by the early church?

10) Trust in God’s providence. (Trust that He was successful in giving us His word)

11) Conclusion. (Be strong in faith, trust the 66 books = God’s holy word. Inspired, inerrant, auth, sufficient. Frame - page 138)
