Some Aspects of the Old Testament Contribution to the Pattern of Christian Ethics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 February 2009
Extract
In criticising the Protestantism of the Reformation period, F. R. Barry traces part of its weakness to what he calls ‘the still uncritical attitude of the reforming leaders to Scripture’ which ‘elevated the Jewish sacred books to the same level of status and inspiration as that of the Gospels and Epistles’. There is, he claims, ‘little trace in Calvin … that the Scripture to which he appeals as authoritative embraces the Sermon on the Mount’.
