The Melissa Dougherty Podcast

CHAPTER

Unraveling Church Authority and the Bible

This chapter explores the historical context surrounding the formation of the biblical canon, challenging the myth that the Roman Catholic Church is its source. It highlights the anachronistic views of Roman Catholicism in relation to early church history and emphasizes that scripture, rooted in apostolic authority, is foundational to the church's existence. By delving into the interplay between political power and religious authority during the Carolingian Renaissance, the chapter also addresses misconceptions about the church's role in recognizing authoritative texts.
