White Canons

White canons are a group of early Christian rules that emphasize strict adherence to biblical teachings and moral discipline. They oppose the inclusion of traditions or practices not directly outlined in the Bible, advocating for a pure, unadulterated faith based solely on scripture. This term originally referred to certain Protestant reformers who prioritized biblical authority over church traditions, contrasting with "Black Canons," which accepted some extra-biblical traditions. Overall, white canons promote a simple, scripture-centered approach to Christianity, minimizing reliance on church hierarchy or additional doctrines.
