[Mr Rogers]

The Canon still has variations, including between Protestant and Catholic. However, the large majority of the NT was accepted as scripture almost as soon as it was written. Folks did NOT wait for a church council to use the Gospels or Paul’s letters or 1 Peter as scripture.

They did the same for the Didache, and the Shepherd of Hermas too.

Some folks didn’t include Hebrews, some didn’t include Jude. There were regional variations on what was considered to be Canon. This wasn’t standardised until St. Jerome compiled and published the Vulgate, and the Canon was set.

Then Martin Luther decided to take parts out he didn’t want. So no one who believes in Sola Scriptura is using scripture in the way that the early church did.

I would agree with you about Paul or 1 Peter's epistles, but about the Gospels I would argue that there were also other Gospels out there (the Gospel of Thomas as mentioned in the article), which people believed in.

Jerome's job was to furnish a Latin Vulgate collection as a compendium.

When he talks of regional variations, we would have to admit that some places may not have had the complete set of epistles, many would not have read the OT books, some would have had other books as canon (Didache for one) and some may have had spurious books included.
