Inhaltsangabe

A rigorous, text-based examination of scripture versus tradition.

This work tests Roman claims by weighing biblical text and the early Fathers.

The book argues that the Bible, rightly understood, should guide faith and practice. It contrasts Protestant principles with Roman ideas about tradition, authority, and the role of the Fathers in shaping belief. Readings focus on how scripture has been used and misused in discussions about image worship, relics, and church authority.

Using careful analysis, the text invites readers to compare scriptural instruction with established church practices. It examines how familiar passages are cited and how unwritten traditions are claimed, with emphasis on clear, reasoned argument rather than rhetoric.

• Explore the debate over scripture and tradition from a historical perspective.
• See how passages about images, relics, and worship are interpreted and contested.
• Understand how early church writings are used in arguments for and against tradition.
• Learn how a text-based approach critiques claims about church authority.

Ideal for readers of theology and church history who want a calm, text-focused critique of Roman claims.
