TH207 The Clarity of Scripture
Overview
The clarity of Scripture is a key part of the Reformation doctrine of Scripture. In this short course, John Frame considers what the clarity of Scripture means. He describes its origin and discusses it in light of three of God’s attributes: His sovereignty, His authority, and His presence. Dr. Frame also explains how to understand the clarity of Scripture when reading passages in the Bible that do not seem to be clear.

“Reformers always derived their doctrine from Scripture, because they believed that Scripture was the Word of God and they wanted to distinguish their doctrine from the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, which they believed were too dependent upon human teachers, particularly the pope, but also what the Roman church called the ‘magisterium.’” (source)
“man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (source)
