A bout fourteen years ago, while a student in Union Theological Seminary, I began a study of the A nte-N icene Fathers, with a view to discovering the forces and aims that caused the Christian Church to form aN ew Testament. I submitted an essay at that time, for which I was awarded the prize inN ew Testament I ntroduction. A few years later I read a paper on the same subject before the American Society of Church History. While a pastor inN ew Haven I did some work in the library of Yale University, especially on the fragments of Heracleon sC ommentary of John, preserved for us by Origen, on the ground of authority underlying the Christianity of Clement of A lexandria, and on several other subjects closely related to this discussion. I do not claim for this fruitage of my study an exhaustive treatment. Such a treatment is practically endless. A hundred related subjects crowd in upon the question we have set before us. I have only tried to trace the conflict between the early principle of an open vision, and the ecclesiastical principle of a closed canon, trying to avoid the confusion of thought that comes from a failure to keep the two ideas distinct.
