¹⁰A good case for a balanced view of consulting tradition within an evangelical view of the authority of Scripture is made by Richard Lints, The Fabric of Theology: A Prolegomenon for Evangelical Theology (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1993), 83–101. He writes that Christian humility makes us recognize the reality of our biases and prejudices when coming to Scripture. This means it is unbiblical (in our doctrine of sin) to think we can find the biblical “way” without consulting our own tradition and other traditions to check our own scriptural findings.
