Scripture and tradition continued.

Now, for a modern take on the relationship between Scripture and Tradition, and why Fundamentalism is like extramarital sex, click here. Compare that with this, which I posted previously.

"Now, don't get me wrong – I'm certainly not arguing here for an authoritative church tradition in the Roman Catholic sense; but I do believe that, as the Lord promised his Spirit to the church, the gathering of believers, and as He has preserved his church throughout the ages, it stands to reason that the thinking of the church on the Bible, as expressed in creeds and confessions, should factor in to our understanding of the Bible. This is surely, at the very least, a simple and modest acknowledgment that the Spirit has been indwelling the church throughout the ages, and that our own perspective is so small and limited." - Carl Trueman (emphasis in original)
