What is the Rule of Faith? Often, the answer to this question betrays either a lack of understanding or a fear of converting to Roman Catholicism. But the Rule of Faith is not an imposition upon the text of Scripture, as the Roman Catholic view might entail. Neither is it an idea that Protestants can simply overlook to uphold a reductionist understanding of sola Scriptura. Episode 14 of Quick to Listen is a brief selection from lecture 1.2 of Dr. Don Collett's module, Hermeneutics of Christian Scripture. In today's episode, Dr. Collett considers the Rule of Faith: its definition and function for the hermeneutical endeavor.
