Basic Elements of Christian Theology: Scripture Replacing

Basic Elements of Christian Theology: Scripture Replacing Tradition

Ever since the Reformation, Protestant Christians have believed in the sola sciptura principle, upholding the Bible as the utmost and ultimate authority. Yet when Christian doctrine is held up to the magnifying lens, there are clear traces of its true intellectual roots, traces that go back to Augustine, Aquinas and even to Plato and Aristotle. Through a long historical process, human philosophy and tradition have gradually replaced and distorted Christian teachings to the point that what most Christians today know and experience as Christianity is vastly different from what Christ believed and taught over two thousand years ago. In Basic Elements of Christian Theology: Scripture Replacing Tradition, Fernando Canale examines the causes behind this distortion. He explores basic elements of theology including the reality of God, his Trinitarian nature, foreknowledge, predestination and creation; first presenting and then contrasting the approaches between Christian tradition and the Bible. The reader will detect how Christian tradition has failed, time and again, to integrate all biblical teachings into a coherent theological system. Canale concludes by proposing a new, biblically based theological matrix, one that logically integrates all basic elements, and that promises to shape all future interpretation of Scripture and construction of Christian doctrine.
