Hooker: Scripture is enough

Tuesday, November 3, 2009
    Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600
    Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639
Meditation:
    But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
    —2 Timothy 3:14-15 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There is in Scripture therefore no defect, but that any man... may have thereby the light of his natural understanding so perfected... that there can want no part of needful instruction unto any good work which God himself requireth.
    ... Richard Hooker (1554?-1600), The Works of that Learned and Judicious Divine, Mr. Richard Hooker, Oxford: University Press, 1841, p. 271 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, by Your grace, perfect my understanding of Your word.CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
