| Summary: | Taking bearings from Walter Altmann's attempt to retrieve a proper understanding of sola Scriptura, this essay argues that the Latin ablative, by way of the Scripture alone, presupposes a nominative solus Christus whom the Spirit proclaims in turn by way of the Scripture alonea dialectic of Word and Spirit, a virtuous circle. It clarifies this proper understanding of sola Scriptura over against modern biblicism, crude and sophisticated, by teasing out its implications for dogmatics as a critical discipline. |
