Description
  • First talk in a Reformation series on Sola Scriptura based on Psalm 119. The ability to access and read the Bible should be viewed as a privilege and be appreciated. There is a great divide between different approaches to applying the written content of Scripture as divinely inspired. The propositional approach assumes that truth is reducible to propositions. In contrast, the personal approach sees truth as apprehension of reality. For this approach, reality transcends our understanding and thus defies our description of it. There is a great distaste to Paul’s suggestion of the ‘deposit of the faith’ described in 1 and 2 Timothy. For some, it is inappropriate to tie the words of God with the content of the Bible. The medieval church wrestled with Christ and the words and traditions written about Him. For the 16th century Reformers, the doctrine of Sola Scriptura was formulated. Four aspects of the doctrine are explored by Doyle. Firstly, the Bible alone is the final, authoritative source for Christian faith and living. Secondly, it is sufficient for the Christian life. Thirdly, the Bible is clear for all. Finally, the Bible is where God meets us and reveals Himself to us.
