Summary: | In traditional Protestant theology, Holy Scripture has been regarded as the external cognitive principle of Christian dogmatics. However, maintaining that Scripture should still have this role today requires addressing some challenges posed in modern Protestant theology. This essay will address three challenges that can be identified in the work of Wolfhart Pannenberg and some other recent authors. These challenges concern (1) the relationship between Scripture and the natural knowledge of God, (2) the verification of Scripture's authority, and (3) the relationship between Scripture and the things and events signified by it. |
