It is the letters by Paul.
1. They only accepted the ones written in Hebrew, seven of them were written in Greek.
The new testament is made of books mainly by the apostles and the rest are books written by Paul.
The "church" discovered which books were inspired and which were not. There were a few requirements that most had to meet. 1. It was written by a prophet of God. 2. It contained truths about God. 3. It had the power of God. and 4. (most important) It was accepted by the "church" at that time. Books that were not accepted (such as the apocrypha) did not meet these requirements In fact, this same list is the basic requirements of the new testament as well.

Catholics believe there are 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. Most Protestant faiths claim there are only 39 inspired books in the Old Testament but agree that there are 27 in the New Testament. The extra seven books in the Catholic versions of the Bible are called the Deutero-canonicals and include the books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, and 1st and 2nd Maccabees. Some Protestant versions of the Bible also include these seven books but they are not considered to be inspired by God and are generally called the Apocryphal Books.

No books were cut out of the bible, hundreds of books were written in the Jewish culture over the Old Testament years, many history, theology, and prophetic books were written. By 100bc Jewish religious leaders and rabbiis had finalized what we now consider the Old testament. The New Testament came about in a similar way. There were hundreds of New Testament era books about Jesus and about the newly emerging Christian church. In the early years of Christianity Churches began to accept certain books as Scripture based on their belief that these books were inspired by God. This cannon of Scripture was finalized in 316(although it had been unofficially accepted by almost all Christians for nearly 200 years before. In 316 church delegates gathered and voted on which books would be accepted as Scripture, the vote was nearly unanimous, only four out of over 300 delegates accepted what we currently refer to as the new testament. They didn't send the message that the people compiling it wanted to.
