Summary:The rule of faith is often celebrated for its apparent effect of uniting Christian theology and exegesis even amidst the obvious divisions that divide Christians and churches. This essay attempts to describe how similarly common commitments and practices may be discerned in the commentaries of Protestant reformers. Special attention is paid, however, to some potential limitations of the rule of faith as well as to the kind of dialogue that may emerge when reception history draws on a truly wide sample of traditional exegesis in order to establish both family resemblances and family disagreements.
