The moral authority of scripture

Julian Rivers, September 2004   No comments

Price: £0.99 (free online)

This paper explains the evangelical commitment to the moral authority of Scripture. After emphasising the literary diversity of Scripture and justifying the idea of moral authority, it identifies the 'judgements' of Scripture as the relevant authoritative component. It shows how these are to be constructed into a coherent ethic and it rejects the notion of ethical development after the canon has closed, on the grounds of Scripture's finality in witnessing to Christ. Finally it stresses that the point of all this lies in our individual and collective calling to put Scripture into practice.
