How Did the New Testament Form?

An interesting brief (seven minute) commentary by Religious Studies PhD candidate Andrew Mark Henry, albeit from 2014 (which might make his commentary about Marcion 'accepting Luke' and 'rejecting the other 3 canonical gospels' 'out of date'. And he is likely to be wrong about Justin Martyr knowing all four gospels. But pretty interesting despite those minor issues. (Also, he says the Shepherd of Hermas was not that popular in the first place, but it probably was; it's just that it likely eventually lost popularity due to it's vague content)).

I think he makes some good points about the [limited] authority Athanasius.
