Contents:
The early church as canonical -- The confluence of the Bible, the tradition, and the church -- Protestant tradition and the Christian tradition -- Glimpses at the resources of the ancient tradition -- Postscript -- Patristic resources in English translation.
Summary: "Evangelicals and Tradition is the first in a new series of monographs on the church fathers entitled Evangelical Ressourcement: Ancient Sources for the Church's Future. This volume lays the groundwork for the series by examining the concept of tradition--its definition, origin, and components. Williams addresses the issue of tradition and authority in the early church and discusses the relationship between tradition and the Protestant 'traditions' of sola scriptura and sola fide. Finally, he examines numerous examples of how tradition was used in the early church, including confessions of faith, catecheses, rules of faith, commentaries, homilies, theological hymnody, and theological works" ;
