I would recommend the work of Michael
Kruger like Canon Revisited or The Question of Canon.
Beyond that, a classic is Warfield's The Authority and Inspiration of the Bible. Maybe even Blomberg's The Historical Reliability of the Gospels.
In The Question of Canon Michael J. Kruger comes to almost the same conclusions as Ehrman.
So, if you're asking my personal opinion on the matter, I'd say that Ehrman & Kruger have the strongest scholarly arguments on "formally anonymous" gospels.
Tanhan, seriously?
There was no council that decided it. Hippo simply affirmed what was already in use. Kruger is literally the guy on the canon right now. He has written several books on the subject.
Good books on the development of NT canon:
The Question of Canon: Challenging the Status Quo in the New Testament Debate
Canon Revisited: Establishing the Origins and Authority of the New Testament Books
An interesting program refuting common objections to Sola Scriptura: Dr. Michael Kruger on the Dividing Line
I love Micheal Kruger's books Canon revisited and The question of Canon. If you really want to dive into the subject D.A. Carson's The Enduring Authority of the Christian Scriptures is an amazing resource.
Do you have a source for this? In my reading of history I haven’t seen evidence of this. In fact the gospel of Thomas is a pretty recent discovery. There were many gnostic writing but there was never any contention that these writings were part of the Christian Scripture; in fact this was one of the key claims of the Gnostics, that they had a revelation special to them that was kept from the church as a whole. So there was never any debate to include the gospel of Thomas in the canon. I recommend a couple of resources to you:
A New Eusebius is a source book of documents from the early church period (to 313), and includes readings from the Gospel of Thomas and other gnostic works
The Question of the Canon considers how the Scriptures progressed from a few books and letter received as words from God into their present “Bible” form. Lots of good research pulled together here.
