Excerpt from Progressive Protestantism
It appears, then, that the theology of the re formed communions may mean one of two things. It may mean reaction, or it may mean progress. Most of the earliest reformers thought that it meant reaction. Their idea was that the Catholic Church had been untrue to her ancient heritage, and, by her additions to Christian doctrine, to the pure faith of the apostolic age. To them the sources of Christian doctrine were the Holy Scriptures, and they measured the doc trines of the Latin Church by the standard of the Bible; interpreting the Bible, not in the light of Church councils and decrees, but according to the private judgment of the individual believer. Those who agreed as to what the Bible taught, formed separate churches or sects, and, in each case, founded their reactionary creeds on the infallibility of the Scriptures, which were re garded as the abiding organ of the Holy Ghost.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating evolution of Protestantism, particularly examining the proposed revision of the Presbyterian creed. Protestantism's history is one of adaptability, and the author highlights how different Protestant denominations throughout history have variously interpreted the Bible and even rejected its authority altogether. These shifts in doctrine, the author notes, are often in step with broader societal trends, such as political and cultural movements. Notably, the author investigates the rise of a "progressive Protestantism" that emphasizes individual judgment and has begun to challenge the authority of the Bible and the church. The author provides ample evidence of this trend through the writings of prominent Protestant theologians and critics. The insights offered in the book are particularly valuable for understanding the current state and potential future of Protestantism, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of Christianity.
