The Notion and Definition of Canon

Abstract

Plato may not seem to be the most apt starting point for a discussion of the biblical canon, but I suggest that he might be. Though his views were not always correct, he did manage to make several rather permanent advances in human civilization. Perhaps one of the most frequently applied—or forgotten with resultant peril—is his insistence that intelligent argument cannot safely proceed without a clear definition of terms.
