Theological Authority in the Church

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the nature of authority within the church, this book challenges traditional hierarchical views by advocating for a "low" ecclesial theological authority based on New Testament teachings. It emphasizes that no individual holds ultimate authority, as all are called to witness Jesus's teachings and God's works. Drawing on Jesus's critiques of the Pharisees, the author argues for a more democratic approach to theological disputes. The discussion culminates in an analysis of the implications for Protestant theology in relation to the broader Catholic tradition.
