The biblical canon is the list of books considered to be authoritative. Protestants in particular point to Melito of Sardis, as well as a modernly accepted group of criteria. However, in practice, protestants pull from Jewish canon for the Old Testament, and the Roman Catholic canon for the New Testament.

Much of the Protestant Reformation was directed at abolishing monasteries, and it's only recently that some Protestants have decided that maybe monasteries are not such a bad idea, after all. The number of Ecumenical (Usually combined Catholic + Protestant) monasteries is very small, but many of the few that exist have been enormously influential, again citing the example of Taize.
