3.8 Ardel Caneday • Reading • "The Sufficiency of Scripture in Doing Christian Theology by the Book"
Systematic Theology is inextricably linked to the understanding of individual biblical texts. But what if those texts are obscured by extra-Biblical historical backgrounds that lead away from a biblical author’s intended meaning? Sound exegesis must begin with a firm commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture.
