The Bible, the Church and the Reason

The theologian Charles A. Briggs argues that the three great sources of religious authority are the Bible, the Church, and reason. In this book, he explores the relationship between these three fountains of authority and how they have shaped the history of Christian thought. Briggs contends that each of these sources of authority has its own strengths and weaknesses, and that a robust and thoughtful faith requires us to draw on all of them in a balanced and integrated way. A provocative and insightful work of theology.
