Explore a historical take on how tradition shapes Christian belief and practice. This sermon, delivered at Winchester in 1836, offers a careful argument for the ongoing role of apostolic tradition in guiding creed, Scripture interpretation, and church worship.

Drawing on early church practice and key figures, the text discusses how the Nicene Creed grew out of tradition, how tradition informs the interpretation of difficult passages, and how discipline, rites, and formularies have been handed down through the centuries. It presents a balanced view that tradition supports both faith and order, while inviting readers to weigh authority with thoughtful inquiry.

• How creeds and catechesis relate to the Bible in shaping belief.


• Ways interpreters rely on tradition to understand difficult Scriptural passages.


• Roles of church discipline, rites, and worship in maintaining continuity.


• Arguments for why historical practice matters for present church life.
