A Sure Ground on Which to Stand: The Relation of Authority and Interpretive Method in Luther’s Approach to Scripture
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
This study from Mark Thompson examines Luther’s most significant comments on the nature and use of Scripture, locating each in its literary and historical context. Thompson explores a series of connections in Luther’s thought, analyzing his scattered statements in terms of four categories reflected in his own terminology: inspiration (inspiratio), unity (tota scriptura), clarity (claritas scripturae), and sufficiency (sola scriptura). Thompson seeks to identify the elements that enable Luther to move with confidence between his statements about the authority of Scripture and his interpretive method.
