Perspicuity of Scripture

by 1 Comment

Ken taught this morning on the clarity of the Scriptures. This is technically referred to as the Perspicuity of Scripture. I find it amusingly ironic that referring to it by it proper name makes it unclear to most people. Anyway, if you hear someone toss that term around, now you know what it means.

  1. Gene Veith invoked the perspicuity of Scripture in an article at World Magazine:

    The Bible, for example, is not a puzzle to be interpreted in hundreds of different ways, according to the preconceived interests of the interpreter. This is how many theologians treat the Bible, allowing them to get around what the Bible teaches about sexual morality or the claims of Christ.

    In contrast, the Reformers taught the important but now little-known doctrine of the “perspicuity of Scripture.” That is, the Word of God is essentially clear. We may not understand it all, but the Bible is not that hard. Yes, there are differences of interpretation, but we are called not so much to interpret as to accept God’s words.
