Francis Turretin on Scripture's Clarity (Part 3): What Perspicuity Is Not
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For the third week, we're still asking what the doctrine of the perspicuity (clarity) of Scripture isn't.
That may sound tedious, but Turretin is doing exactly what a careful theologian should do: defining his terms before answering objections.
In this episode we finish the final two qualifications:
- Does Scripture have to be equally clear everywhere?
- Does the doctrine of Scripture's clarity eliminate pastors, preaching, study, prayer, or the ministry of the Holy Spirit?
Along the way we examine Augustine, 1 Peter 3, and why difficult passages do not undermine the Protestant doctrine of Scripture's perspicuity.
If you've wondered whether Protestants believe the Bible is "easy" or that Christians don't need teachers, this episode answers those misconceptions.
Do you think this claim is found wanting? Let us know on social!!
