As I understand it, early Christians didn't have a Bible with NT writings to study from (understandable considering that that is the time period in which the NT was written).
I've been doing a bit of digging for information and understand that the Bible as we know it today was compiled (specifically, the NT) into a canonical order that was accepted around 367 AD-ish. I'm wondering if there is more reliable information on how the canon was proclaimed to be canon and what the process for that was (as well as the process for rejected material and why it was rejected). I'm looking for unbiased, "cold hard facts" sources and information.
