| Summary: | A welcome spin-off from the series of seminars organized by the Dr Williams Centre for Dissenting Studies, this attractive volume pioneers scholarship in dealing with this critical issue, for Scripture was essential to the life of Dissent, given its rejection of the authority of bishops and parliament, and by many of credal subscriptions. Not that one should impute indifference to Scripture to other religious traditions by identifying ‘The perfection of Scripture as a Christian's only rule of faith and practice’ as unique to Dissent: the italicized word here is critical, for other traditions set religious canons and articles and authoritative works such as the Book of Common Prayer alongside Scripture as also determinative of religious life. |
