What is the relationship between tradition and Scripture? How did the Reformers answer this question? Today, there are many who claim sola scriptura but abandon the creedal heritage of the past; many who adopt the Bible as the ultimate authority yet who give no room for the subordinate but real authority of the Christian tradition. How might a closer study of the Reformers and their retrieval of the Christian tradition as authoritative help us balance the place of Scripture and tradition in theological discourse?
In his Greystone Module, Theology of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Robert Letham explores the doctrine of the Holy Spirit with the above questions in view. This introductory lecture forms the context in which the rest of the module is taught. For access to this module and many others, become a Greystone Member today.
