| Summary: | When the Protestant Reformers abandoned the authority of the Church's sensus communis for the ordering of their life in Christ, they found a rather more certain and less wayward authority in the sensus literalis of the newly available Bible; a plain-speaking text for all seasons and all pockets. Scripture alone would regulate Christian life, with Scripture containing everything necessary for its own regulation, its ruled reading. Scripture was to become that most amazing of things—a self-interpreting and wholly sufficient text. |
