Generous Orthodoxy ThinkTank: Canon and Catholicity: The Skeleton in the Protestant Closet

Interesting post on the formation of the canon of the Scripture (how the Bible came to be) by James K.A. Smith at Generous Orthodoxy ThinkTank. He refers to a book by Craig Allert, A High View of Scripture?, and his point is simply that the church predates the NT canon by hundreds of years and that the church authorized the formation of the canon. Therefore, should Christians consider the supreme authority on matters of faith the church instead of the Bible?
