Inhaltsangabe

One of the key issues that divided Protestants and Roman Catholics during the Reformation was their understanding of Holy Scripture. In this monumental work, William Whitaker addresses six significant areas where Rome had deviated from the truly catholic doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Interacting largely with two of Rome’s most formidable defenders, Whitaker answers questions regarding the number of canonical books, the authentic translations of Scripture, the authority of Scripture, the perspicuity of Scripture, the proper interpretation of Scripture, and the perfection of Scripture. Whitaker’s Disputation on Holy Scripture was an important rejoinder for Protestants in the sixteenth century and stands as a worthy guide to God’s Word today.
 

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

William Whitaker (1548–1595) was Regius Professor of Divinity and master of St. John’s at the University of Cambridge. He was an ardent defender of the Reformed doctrines of grace and an admired defender of Protestantism against the errors of Roman Catholicism. Described as “the pride and ornament of Cambridge,” few English divines were held in higher esteem by their contemporaries. Even Robert Bellarmine, the Roman Catholic scholar, was so impressed by Whitaker’s genius that he hung Whitaker’s portrait in his study.

One of the key issues that divided Protestants and Roman Catholics during the Reformation was their understanding of Holy Scripture. In this monumental work, William Whitaker addresses six significant areas where Rome had deviated from the ancient and truly catholic understanding of the Bible. Interacting largely with two of Rome’s most formidable controversialists, Robert Bellarmine and Thomas Stapleton, Whitaker answers questions regarding the number of canonical books, the authentic editions and versions of Scripture, the authority of Scripture, the perspicuity of Scripture, the proper interpretation of Scripture, and the perfection of Scripture. Whitaker’s Disputation on Holy Scripture was an important rejoinder for Protestants in the sixteenth century and stands to this day as a worthy guide to God’s Word.
