Most Christians believe these men were under Divine Inspiration, and/or that the Bible is God's infallible Word to men. Exactly what is included in the Bible is a matter of some dispute. In particular, certain books counted as part of the Bible by the [[Roman Catholic Church]] are regarded as non-canonical by many Protestants and vice-versa. Accordingly, it is impossible to be certain which books of the Bible are truly canonical. However, it is certain that those books that ''are'' canonical, whichever they may be, are Divinely inspired and infallible.

The early church's determination of the [[canon]] was based on several criteria, including authorship, consistency with the rest of Scripture, and the level of general acceptance at the time. <ref>http://www.gotquestions.org/canon-Bible.html</ref>
