How Does the Creation of a Canon Have an Impact on the Development of Christianity?

The creation of a canon had an impact on how the religion develops, he says. By including four gospels instead of just one, you get four different perspectives and that makes it more interesting than if there were only one gospel. The way to deal with this is to read them against each other so that the rough edges of each one are taken off. It allows you to have numerous theological views that are all right at the same time; but by having a canon, it excludes others' views.
