Competing traditions

13 Feb 2014
 

One of the big challenges in the Protestant tradition is that we say Scripture only, but we mean Scripture interpreted as I interpret it.

As best I understand Catholic theology, church tradition tells you how to interpret Scripture. In Protestant circles, there many traditions about Scripture interpretation – and my, how they compete.

I’ve run into a lot of people who probably wouldn’t mind being Catholics provided their favorite Bible teacher was Pope.

What happened to the unreached this week?

Each Friday I send a newsletter to over 2,400 mission activists, advocates, managers, field workers, and pastors - about what happened among the unreached, and what could happen next. Each issue comes with a curated list of nearly 100 links, and note why each is important. You can get on the list for free.
