Luther & Calvin on the Canon

Luther's final principle for canonicity: "That which does not teach Christ is still not apostolic..."

"The French Confession of 1559, which Calvin helped write, noted: "We know these books to be canonical, and the sure rule of our faith, not so much by the common accord and consent of the Church as by the testimony and inward illumination of the Holy Spirit, which enables us to distinguish them from other ecclesiastical books."
