Synopsis

Supremacy Of Scripture: An Examination Into The Principles And Statements Advanced In The Essay On The Education Of The World In A Letter To The Rev. Dr. Frederick Temple by William Edward Jelf is a thorough 1861 critique addressing the claims of the essay on the education of the world. Jelf argues for the supremacy and sufficiency of Scripture over rationalist and developmental theories, defending revelation, the authority of the Bible, and the role of the Church and creeds in guiding belief and practice. The work engages in a wide-ranging confrontation of the relationship between Scripture, conscience, reason, and tradition, and critiques attempts to subordinate divine revelation to human reason. It is a detailed theological polemic aimed at safeguarding doctrinal certainty and biblical authority within 19th-century Anglican thought.
