The Authority of the Bible

The Authority of the Bible derives from the fact that it is the Word of God written. Thus the Bible has all the authority of God its author. Therefore, the fundamental is what people consider the Bbile itself to be.

This was explored in an article in Cross†Way 2003.

See also the Anglican teaching on the nature and authority of the Bible as represented in the official doctrines of the Church of England.
