Seminar 8:
Is Scripture Enough?

The place of scripture in the life and thinking of the Church is the most hotly contested battleground for today's Christians.

This one day seminar, led by four leading theologians from the Trinity College Theological School in Melbourne, explores the claim of 'Scripture alone' (sola scriptura). In ethics, in systematic theology, even in Bible Sctudies, is Scripture able to stand alone without reason, tradition and the other sources of authority at the heart of classical Anglicanism? Come and find out.

The seminar will be led by the Rev'd Dorothy Lee, the Rev'd Dr Andrew McGowan, and Dr David O'Brien.
