| Summary: | It is common in evangelical circles to discount theological interpretations based on methodological critiques—especially those related to areas involving reliance on intuitions such as perfect being theology. Therefore, this article argues that the traditional Protestant doctrine of ‘sola scripture’ makes room for natural means besides supernatural revelation such as intuitions in theological formation. It argues this by showing how the alternative understanding of scripture is theologically unsatisfying and impossible. Subsequently, the article defends the use of intuitions such as perfect being theology as compatible with the traditional sola scriptura doctrine. |
