About This Book
The essay critiques the Roman claim that a single, living ecclesiastical authority is infallible in matters of faith, arguing that such a conclusion rests on speculative assumptions about what God must have provided rather than on evidence. It surveys biblical and theological arguments asserting Scripture as the ultimate standard, treats tradition as a useful but subordinate aid, and rejects appeals to presumed divine necessity for an infallible arbiter. The author urges reliance on Scripture, reasoned argument, prayer, and a holy life as proper means for resolving doctrinal uncertainty, and cautions against surrendering individual judgment to an assumed human infallibility.
