Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scripture

#Overview

This opening chapter anchors the rest of the Confession in divine revelation and gives learners a map for why the Bible stands above all other standards.

Scripture's authority, sufficiency, and role as the rule of faith and life.

#Scripture's authority
