The Relationship Between Scripture and Tradition

Dave Erboum explores the relationship between scripture and tradition, emphasizing that both grow out of revelation. Scripture captures one aspect of the revelation, while tradition, in collaboration with scripture, develops and unfolds the deeper truths of revelation. This understanding goes beyond the idea of two parallel sources of revelation or limiting scripture to matters of salvation. It acknowledges the richness and complexity of God's self-revelation in both scripture and tradition, highlighting their interdependence in conveying the truths of faith.
