Has God
spoken?
This volume establishes that God has spoken, that Scripture is His written Word, and that all doctrine must be governed by Scripture.
Before theology can ask who God is, what He has made, or how He saves, it must first ask how truth is known. Volume 1 lays the foundation for the entire series by treating revelation, inspiration, authority, truthfulness, canon, preservation, clarity, necessity, sufficiency, and faithful interpretation.
“Thy word is truth.”— John 17:17
THE DOCTRINAL BURDEN
Scripture bears authority
The Bible is inspired, truthful, preserved, clear, necessary, and sufficient for the work God has given it.
Scripture interprets Scripture
Context, the whole counsel of God, biblical language, patterns, and fulfillment govern responsible interpretation.
The Word governs doctrine
Tradition, experience, philosophy, and theological systems remain servants beneath the authority of Scripture.
