Protestantism (3)
Before all else, Protestantism is, in its very essence, an appeal from all other authority to the divine authority of Holy Scripture.
B.B. Warfield
Inspiration and Authority of the Bible, Section 2 It is supremely ironic that today's laity are becoming the mentors of today's clergy. It is the clergy into whose hands lay believers have solemnly entrusted themselves and their faith. And yet, when the clergy have fallen further away from faith than the laity, the laity are now taking the lead.The Rebirth of Orthodoxy, 138
With what right may we call ourselves children of the Reformation? Much modern Protestantism would be neither owned nor even recognised by the pioneer Reformers. J. I. Packer and O. R. Johnston, Introduction to the The Bondage of the Will (Old Tappan, NJ: Fleming Revell, 1957) pp. 59-60
