I wonder, now that the rejoinder has been made, whether further pursuit of 
this topic
-- at least in the direction it appears to be going, namely, towards the 
question of
inerrancy and whether there was divine direction behind the eventual 
recognition of
only 27 books as the canon of the NT--is something that we want to engage in. 
It will,
I fear, take us well beyond the scope of C-P. So I ask that *if* it is felt 
that
questions of Pauline authorship and canon still need to be raised,  
participants limit
themselves to some historical and not doctrinal aspect of these questions.

Yours,

Jeffrey Gibson
