To call scripture authoritative is to declare that this story matters.

Believing in the authority of scripture is a cornerstone of Christian faith, regardless of tradition. But what do we really mean when we talk about scripture’s authority? Authority for what domains of life? On what basis? And to what ends? This course offers a comprehensive overview of the biblical story, from creation to New Creation, and what that story reveals about God’s authority and the Bible’s authority.
