Synopsis

How to know the true guide for faith: scripture, not tradition, holds the final say.

This book argues that the authority of scripture stands above human tradition in early 19th‑century Protestant thought, offering a clear, accessible case for interpreting the Bible by its own plain meaning and by careful use of other biblical supports. In careful, reasoned terms, the author contrasts Roman Catholic claims of tradition with Protestant commitments to scripture. He grounds his discussion in New Testament examples, showing how apostolic teaching and canonical writings work together to define the Rule of Faith without surrendering to infallible human interpretation.

  • Why tradition is not the infallible interpreter of scripture
  • How scripture and tradition can aid understanding without claiming equal authority
  • Ways early church practice was corrected by the canonical writings
  • Arguments that Protestants can appeal directly to scripture for doctrine and practice
Ideal for readers of theology, church history, and Protestant thought, this edition illuminates a pivotal debate on how believers discern religious truth.
