Did Catholics add books to the Bible or did Protestants remove books? Who determines the Canon of Scripture?

In this third episode of Stunned by Scripture, John Bergsma tackles this question head-on, explaining the origins of the Biblical canon, its development throughout Salvation History from the time of Moses, and how the Catholic Church agreed upon an official list of inspired books in 382 A.D.

Furthermore, Dr. Bergsma explains the history behind the Protestant Bible as well as the changes that were made following the Reformation.
