I think the origin of the Canon is a particularly important topic, especially when discussing inerrancy and other topics surrounding how we use (and how God intends us to use) the Bible. Thanks for this, I will add some of your "further readings" to my list.
What role should the church (at the institutional and congregational level) be playing with regards to equipping lay Christians with an understanding of how the Biblical canon was formed? I don't know how many Protestants could even briefly outline, for instance, the status and use of the Apocrypha.
