Synopsis

A clear case for tradition guiding our reading of Scripture .

This nonfiction work presents a historical sermon that argues the church’s early voices help interpret the Bible, while keeping Scripture as the ultimate rule of faith.

In measured, accessible language, it explains how ecclesiastical authorities and antiquity contribute to understanding difficult passages, without claiming infallible interpretation. The text invites readers to weigh centuries of testimony against modern doubts, emphasizing reverence for the tradition that has shaped Christian belief.
  • How tradition and Scripture work together to form the Catholic understanding of faith
  • Arguments about the authority of early church writers and councils
  • Examples of how ancient voices have guided orthodox interpretation
  • A historical perspective on maintaining doctrinal continuity across generations
Ideal for readers of church history and theology who want a principled defense of tradition as a guide to Scriptural meaning.
