Abstract

The ecumenical discussions of recent years have made it apparent that one of the major issues-if not the major issue- between Roman Catholics and Protestants is still the problem of Scriptural authority. In the dialog with Roman Catholics we are confronted with what appears to be a dilemma. Roman Catholics will ask this question: How is it possible to preserve the purity and plenitude of revelation and even the very authority of the Scriptures without the magisterial authority of the church?
