Excerpt from Not Tradition, but Scripture
As a conclusion to these few remarks, let the Author here express hls s1ncere hope and belief, that not a word will be found in the following. Pages inconsistent with the feelings of Christian charity, or incompatible with his real respect for the undoubted good intentions of the party to whose vlews he is Opposed. That they have adopted distorted views of many portions of God's revealed will, he does not hesitate in stating as his decided conviction. And under this impression he has feltit his duty to enter his protest against a system of doctrine opposed, as he conceives, to sound evangelical orthodoxy. But in justice to them he feels himself also bound to state, that in many respects he conceives them to have done good service to the cause of religion, by the Opposition which they have made to the laxity of modern unchristian speculation, and the increased attention which they have excited in the public mind with respect to the polity and discipline of the primi tive Church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that Scripture alone, not Scripture and Tradition, is the standard of Christian faith. The author contrasts the Protestant belief in Scripture alone with the Catholic view that tradition is also authoritative. The author traces the history of this issue from the early Church to the time of the Protestant Reformation and beyond, arguing that tradition has always been a source of error and corruption. The author concludes that Scripture alone is sufficient and reliable as a source of Christian doctrine and practice and that tradition is unnecessary and unreliable.
