The Reason for Canon

Critical scholars have popularized the idea that the canon was arbitrarily imposed on Christians in an effort to elevate one form of Christianity above others. Popular as this view has become, it has no historical warrant. In this lecture, Dr. Kruger presents several theological beliefs of the early church that would have naturally and organically led to the formation and adoption of the New Testament canon.
