The Functional Authority of Scripture in the Church

January 1, 2004 • Scott Goodwill

One conviction that the Church has held in common throughout her history and development is the central role that Scripture performs in the life of each Christian and in the community of God. The statement of faith for most Christian churches contains, with subtle variations in wording, the bold declaration that the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and authoritative for the Church in matters of life and doctrine. Through this primer, we will attempt to discuss the broad brush strokes of what that statement means and how it can be applied in such a way that we are built into “the unity of the faith” (Eph. 4:13).

In our responsibility for bringing practical care to the church, we want to provide what we consider to be helpful guidelines on this subject.
