"The term Bibliology (from Greek biblos meaning “book”) refers particularly to the study of the nature of the Bible as divine revelation. It often includes such topics as revelation, inspiration, inerrancy, canonicity, textual criticism, illumination, and interpretation." Greg Herrick
For almost as long as I can remember, this area of study has held great interest to me. Over the years I have managed to find and gather a number of resources, and wanted to share a few of them with those interested.

The Development of the New Testament Canon (This is an interesting site, and what sets it apart is that it deals largely with the Canon as it relates to the Early Church Fathers. Like this chart, which assuming an accuracy shows opinions of the EFC's concerning the authority of individual N.T. "books".)

God's Canon by Steve Hays (an ebook pertaining to the Biblical Canon, Over the years Steve has written a number of occasional pieces on the Protestant canon of Scripture. These were frequently written in response to Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox attacks on the Protestant canon of Scripture. Oftentimes he summarizes or quotes from various scholars to make their scholarship available to readers who may not have ready access to their works. This is a collection of those pieces.)
William Tyndale (The first man to translate the New Testament into the English language)
