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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the fundamental differences between the Protestant and Roman Catholic faiths, focusing on the question of ecclesiastical authority. The author, an assistant bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, approaches this examination by contrasting two viewpoints: the Roman Catholic view that places authority in tradition and scripture, and the Protestant view that places authority solely in scripture. By comparing these perspectives, the author explores the nature of tradition, from its origins to its preservation, arguing that scripture is a superior means for preserving the truth of Christ's teachings. Through common-sense arguments and examples from scripture, the author builds a case for the fallibility of tradition, demonstrating that scripture, as the ultimate authority, can rectify and correct any errors or imperfections that may arise in traditional teachings. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of this argument, highlighting the importance of relying on scripture as the primary source of Christian revelation and doctrine.
