Most of the books I have seen take a theological stance I was hoping for something more historical. Thank you in advance.
When I was studying this, the best sources I found were:
The Canon of the New Testament: Its Origin, Development, and Significance by Bruce Metzger
and
The Canon of Scripture, by F.F. Bruce
They are both Protestants but I didn't notice any particular theological bias. Both cover both the OT and NT but since we know a lot more about the formation of the NT, it gets a lot more coverage.
