Canon Crossfire

★What if the case for Christianity collapses under the weight of the Protestant Bible itself?
◆In Canon Crossfire, retired attorney Matthew Mark McWhorter presents a bold, evidence-based investigation into the Christian biblical canon—one that began in skepticism and ended in an unexpected conversion. Written for critical thinkers, theology buffs, skeptics, and believers alike, this book explores a fundamental question: Did the early Church reject the Catholic “Apocrypha”—or were they always part of authentic Christian Scripture?
◆Many Protestant theologians assert that the early Church embraced the Jewish Old Testament canon while rejecting the Apocrypha. But McWhorter dismantles this assumption with meticulous historical research, legal-style reasoning, and scriptural analysis, all centered around a single explosive question: What if the Apocrypha were part of the apostolic deposit—and what if rejecting them undermines the very case Protestants use to defend the resurrection of Christ?
◆This book does not attempt to prove the Apocrypha are divinely inspired. Instead, through legal analogies, statistical references from the KJV, New Testament cross-references to Apocrypha, and primary source analysis, McWhorter argues that a Protestant rejection of the Apocrypha undermines the same evidentiary standards used to defend the Gospels. If the canon lists and patristic witness are flawed regarding the Old Testament, how can they be reliable regarding the New?
◆Canon Crossfire is not just a theological deep dive—it is a spiritual and intellectual journey from atheism to belief. Written with honesty, wit, and a willingness to admit human fallibility, this book invites readers to examine the foundation of Christian faith with fresh eyes.
