³ Do you know what part the council of Chalcedon played in the setting of
³ the canon of the Scripture?  It is becoming a hot topic back here in
³ Houston.

Dear Martin,
 
Chalcedon gets no cigar.  That council did not consider the problem of
the biblical canon.  Perhaps you should look at the 1st and 2nd
councils of Carthage, which went on record (in 397 and 419) as
accepting all 27 of the NT books.
 
                        Sincerely in Christ,
 
                        Father Mateo
