The Authority of the Bible and the Authority of the Theological Tradition.

The author reflects on the relationship between the Bible and the creeds and confessions of the church. He discusses confusion on the term "tradition," the difference between "church traditions" and "the tradition" according to the Reformers and historically informed contemporary evangelicals, and a reminder that doctrine or theology is an expression of the mind of the church. He also mentions how a theological opinion can become a doctrine.
