In some of the church's history, Scripture has been pitted against
tradition and vice versa. Prominent New Testament scholar Edith
Humphrey, who understands the issue from both Protestant and
Catholic/Orthodox perspectives, revisits this perennial point of
tension. She demonstrates that the Bible itself reveals the
importance of tradition, exploring how the Gospels, Acts, and the
Epistles show Jesus and the apostles claiming the authority of
tradition as God's Word, both written and spoken. Arguing that
Scripture and tradition are not in opposition but are necessarily
and inextricably intertwined, Humphrey defends tradition as God's
gift to the church. She also works to dismantle rigid views of sola
scriptura while holding a high view of Scripture's authority.
