The closed canon witnesses to Jesus, revelation in the flesh. The bounded canon prioritizes Jesus and the particulars surrounding his life. The rejection of Montanism, from the early church to the church today, is not a rejection of the power and presence of God the Holy Spirit. It is, instead, a rejection of false claims made in the Spirit’s name. That the canon of Scripture is closed means it is not open to additions from Montanus, or from you or me.
