Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Authority of the Word of God: A Treatise on the Criterion of Christian Faith and Life The necessity of arriving at definite conclusions in regard to the question of authority in matters of faith and life is of paramount importance. Christian people need a permanent authoritative standard to govern their spiritual affairs. Because Christian faith unquestionably rests, builds, and abides on authority. But, on whose authority can saving faith rely with true assurance? Obviously, on the authority of him who gave to the world the Word of truth. God´s Word is authoritative in a twofold sense: first, because of the truthful information which God gives to the world; secondly, because of the unequivocal compliance with his will which God requires of men. The Christian Church from the beginning held and practiced that the Word of God is the authority of authorities for the faith and life of the Church. Among confessions of faith, the Formula of Concord first gave clear and definite expression to this principle. For it says, that the Prophetic and Apostolic Writings of the Old and New Testaments are the only rule according to which all teachers and doctrines are to be judged and esteemed. But in previous creeds, the same principle is implied, even though it was not expressed in so many words. In fine, the Church to this day teaches and believes that the Word of God is the authority in regard to the matters of which it speaks.
