“Sola scriptura means at least this: that the church's proclamation is always subject to potential correction from the canon. It is for this reason that we resist simply collapsing the text into the tradition of its interpretation and performance.”

“The essential unity of the formal and material principles of the Reformation lies in the fact that to affirm that Christianity was, formally and materially, solus Christus was perceived by the Reformers ultimately to depend upon the concurrent affirmation that Christ and his benefits could be known sola scriptura.”

“It was evangelicals' sense of rudderlessness - their desire for an authority to guide them in questions of dogma, life, and worship - that led them to rediscover liturgy and history in the first place. The irony was that in their smorgasbord approach to non-Protestant tradition, in their individualistic rejection of the rules of any one church in favor of a free run of the so-called church universal, in their repudiation of American nationalism in favor of cosmopolitanism, young evangelicals were being quintessentially evangelical and stereotypically American, doing as they pleased according to no authority but their own. The principle of sola scriptura was far clearer in theory than in practice. No matter evangelicals' faith that, with the 'illumination of the Holy Spirit,' 'Scripture could and should interpret itself,' too many illuminated believers came to different conclusions about what the Bible meant. Inerrantists who asserted their 'literal' interpretation with absolute certainty could do so only by covertly relying on modern, manmade assumptions. Other evangelicals were now searching for similar assurance in the authority of church history and the mystery of worship.”

“The difference between us and the papists is that they do not think that the church can be 'the pillar of the truth' unless she presides over the word of God. We, on the other hand, assert that it is because she reverently subjects herself to the word of God that the truth is preserved by her and passed on to others by her hands.”

“No judgments are to be attributed to God which the Scripture does not assign to Him; much less those which are contrary to the righteousness of God revealed in the Scriptures.”

“So where should we trace our doctrine? To the New Testament, and only there. And even this statement must be qualified. We should trace our doctrine to that which the New Testament lays down as a teaching or practice”

“The crux of Bible-Onlyism is that the Word became ink and dwelt among us, and we have only read about His glory.”

“I am not interested in what I believe. I am not even sure what I believe. I am much more interested in what the church believes.”

“El Magisterio del Papa y los obispos de ninguna manera pueden recibir autoridad de un dicasterio romano, incluso apelando a la voluntad personal (voluntarista) del Papa gobernante actual, para complementar, reducir, corregir o hacer compatible con el sentido común o con las ideologÃas actuales lo que ha sido revelado de una vez por todas en Cristo y presentado normativamente en la doctrina de los apóstoles (Hechos 2:42) para todo tiempo. Los dos dogmas papales del Concilio Vaticano I (infalibilidad, primacÃa de jurisdicción) no permiten tal interpretación que romperÃa la hermenéutica de la fe católica. De hecho, la contradicen directamente. No hay margen para sugerir nada en la declaración definitiva del Concilio Vaticano II (Dei Verbum 10).”

“La opinión gnóstica de que una pequeña élite tiene acceso especial al EspÃritu Santo o que, de manera mitológica, el EspÃritu Santo habla a través del 'pueblo sano de la gente sencilla e intelectualmente incorrupta' (el 'espÃritu popular' de los románticos) no tiene nada que ver con la fe católica. Solo hay un único tesoro de la Palabra de Dios, que se encuentra en la Sagrada Escritura y que, en el contexto de la Tradición Apostólica, es completamente conservado y fielmente interpretado por toda la Iglesia bajo la guÃa del Sagrado Magisterio (cf. Dei Verbum 1-10; Lumen Gentium 25).”

“Seventeenth-century England showed that when 'Sola Scriptura' was combined with the natural bent of human passion, revolution was the invariable outcome. Give an Englishman a Bible and tell him he was now empowered to interpret the Scriptures according to his own lights, and one way or another, social anarchy followed as night from day.”
