Scripture and the Confession of 1967

Abstract

“Again and again in the history of the church, men have fallen into the rabbinic error of failing to distinguish between the word itself and the Scriptural witness and always with the same result, that some one interpretation of Scripture is regarded as final and men's ears are closed against any further word from God that might disturb or overturn their established viewpoint … God must have his freedom to judge all our interpretations and to point the way forward for his church.”
