Bible Note: Thank you for your kind reply. I suppose Pelikan might suggest, for the books of the OT, that the same dynamic of unwritten practiced tradition preceded the writing of those books as a well. It is important to note that Pelikan never says such traditions differ from what scripture describes, or that the reliability or authority of scripture is somehow in question. |
