Excerpt from The Divine Rule of Faith and Practice, or a Defence of the Catholic Doctrine That Holy Scripture Has Been Since the Times of the Apostles, Vol. 2: The Sole Divine Rule of Faith and Practice to the Church, Against the Dangerous Errors of the Authors of the Tracts for the Times, and the Romanists, As, Particularly, That the Rule of Faith Is "Made Up or Scripture and Tradition Together," Etc
IN the preceding chapter we have endeavoured to prove that Holy Scripture is the sole divine Rule of faith and practice to the conscience of every individual.
To this position various objections are Offered by our Opponents, many of which we have already considered. There remain, however, two others of still greater import ance, to the consideration of which this and the following chapter shall be devoted.
The first is the (alleged) imperfection of Scripture the second the (alleged) obscurity of Scripture.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a profound theological debate that has echoed through centuries: the role of Scripture and tradition in shaping Christian faith and practice. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century England, the author critically examines the arguments of those who advocate for the inclusion of church tradition alongside the Bible as a source of divine authority. The author meticulously dissects the claims that Scripture is insufficient or unclear on fundamental doctrines such as the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the nature of the sacraments. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of biblical passages, historical context, and the writings of early church fathers, the author presents a compelling case for the completeness and clarity of Scripture as the sole rule of faith and practice. This exploration extends beyond doctrinal issues to encompass matters of church governance, rituals, and the interpretation of Scripture itself. The author challenges the notion that traditions and practices not explicitly found in the Bible hold divine authority, arguing instead for a reliance on the clear teachings of Scripture as the ultimate guide for Christian belief and life. By illuminating the historical and theological underpinnings of this debate, the author's insights invite readers to engage with enduring questions about the nature of religious authority and the pursuit of truth within the Christian tradition.
