Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. New Edition. 2004. viii, 297pp. The book is in excellent condition with no inscriptions, and all contents are tight and clean. "Scripture, Tradition, and Reason are the three criteria by which the adequacy of all Christian teaching must be tested. Not only in Anglicanism, which has always particularly stressed the 'threefold cord,' but in all Christian churches, the relationship and relative authority of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason are nowadays the subject of wide debate and disagreement. Does one of them have primacy over the other two? Or a 'veto'? How can their respective influence in the past be evaluated, and what should it be in this modern age? Such questions are raised by every major issue in the life and thought of the churches today. Many international social and individual problems (such as the ordination of women, the 'Threefold ministry,' ecumenical affiliations, and Christian ethics) turn, whether explicitly or implicitly, on the relationship of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. This important study serves the dual purpose of honoring a distinguished churchman and scholar, R. P. C. Hanson, and bringing together learned discussions of this supremely central theme?a theme which has not been dealt with in this way or on this scale before.".
