And I hand that recommendation right back at your not so humble self. Maybe starting out with what the classical age understood as history and then moving on to the different concils compiling and rejecting scripts until they found something like a canon. Which, by the way, was forbidden to read in it's entirety for any layman in the Middle Ages.
Reading's always good. Especially when it comes to history. Prevents stupid questions.
The scriptures were forbidden to the laity in the Middle Ages?
Boy, this is a classic. Let's play.
What is your basis for this claim?
