Subject: Church Fathers? Part V |
Bible Note: "V. The orthodox (although they hold the fathers in great estimation and think them very useful to a knowledge of the history of the ancient church, and our opinion on cardinal doctrines may agree with them) yet deny that their authority, whether as individuals or taken together, can be called authoritative in matters of faith and the interpretation of the Scriptures, so that by their judgment we must stand or fall. Their authority is only ecclesiastical and subordinate to the Scriptures and of no weight except so far as they agree with them. [As does you, me, and any who seek to speak God's truth]" --Francis Turretin, from his "Institutes of Elenctic Theology" (1992-1997) |
