Book Reviews of After Darkness, Light: Distinctives Of Reformed Theology; Essays In Honor Of R.C. Sproul
Book Review: Sola Scriptura chapter especially helpful
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd like to say how much I enjoyed the chapter on Sola Scriptura (the bible alone), by Keith Mathison. He sensibly points out that this slogan is meant to remind us that Scripture is the sole source of God's revelation for us today, because it is perfect, sufficient for instructing us in all God wants us to know and our supreme authority.
But we must remember that the saying was meant to state that the Scripture is our final authoritative norm, but not that it is our only authority. God has put teachers in the church who are under Scripture's authority, but who have been given to us to help us understand his Word.
Irt is not that the Church gives the bible its authority, but that God's people have recognised the unique authority of the Scriptures because of its supremacy.
There is also a place for tradition, such as the historic creeds of the Church, but these also are subservient to the Scriptures. They are not infallible, but are a trustworthy guide, again under the supreme authority the bible.
Mathison tells us that this explanation of the saying "Sola Scriptura" is essential because it is an accurate reflection of what the Reformers meant, and also because if we say that the bible alone has authority and the Church has no authority, we descend into "my interpretation of the bible alone is authoritative."
