      The “Interpretive Authority” of the Spirit—Definition and Storyline

      The central debate within this theological period has to do with the relationship between the authority of the Spirit and the authority of Scripture. As an integral part of the Pattern of divine authority, the nature of this relationship is crucial for both Protestant and Roman Catholic theologies in their respective understandings of the Spirit’s interpretive authority.

      Protestants, on the other hand, claim that the recognition of this Spirit/Word relationship, as stated in terms of their theological discremin, is probably the reason for the success of the Protestant Reformation. Davison traces the roots of Reformation theology back to medieval theology in order to show how earlier attention to this relationship laid the necessary groundwork.
