Is there a singular, reputable source that describes the books left out of the Christian Bible?

by SearchingReligiously

I am wanting to learn more in depth how the Christian Bible came to be. I would like to know things like; who were the different authors, how many books were left out, a summary of what the books read and a specific timeline of when those specific books were rejected.

You might do better asking this in r/AcademicBiblical.
