Synopsis

Primitive Tradition Recognised In Holy Scripture: A Sermon, Preached In The Cathedral Church Of Winchester, Of The Rev. Will. Dealtry, Chancellor Of The Diocese, 27 Spt. 1836 — John Keble. This sermon argues that the Christian deposit comprises not only Scripture but also unwritten Apostolic Tradition, including Creedal formulations, liturgical rites, and episcopal succession, which serve as a test and commentary on Scripture. Keble discusses the concept of the 'good deposit' entrusted to Timothy, the role of the Holy Ghost dwelling in bishops, and the necessity of guarding tradition against novelty and Erastian concessions. He cites early Christian writers (Irenaeus, Tertullian, Augustine) and the Nicene and post-Nicene Fathers to argue that the Church's Apostolic Tradition, preserved by succession and universal consent, complements Scripture and undergirds the Church's authority, worship, and governance. The Postscript and Catena Patrum extend these claims, urging faithful adherence to the apostolic deposit while maintaining scriptural primacy.
