Tables not Stages - Part 2

Imagine if all the scholars of music in the world got together, and all these academics of music, they got together, and they had this big council, and they made this official decree, and they all signed this paper and some documents saying, "Mozart and Bach are great musicians." 

We would sort of all look at them and shrug our shoulders and go, why are you wasting your time with this? You're telling us something that we already know.

This is the kind of relationship that the canon and the books that are in there had with the church. 

Again, it was not an authoritative list of books. It was a list of authoritative books. And the church did not confer authority on them; they could only recognize the authority that these works had already had as they had circulated amongst the congregations over several centuries.
