Rev. Joe -- A couple thoughts

I found this interesting summary of views of the New Testament "canon" over the years -- by it, the four gospels and most epistles of Paul were "orthodox" by mid-second century, the rest remained somewhat mixed. James 2:2 also is an example of how translations can lead one to lose flavor. Should the word be "assembly" or "meeting" or the more Jewish (fitting the tone of the opening of the epistle) "synagogue"? Depends on the translation you have.
