What is Theology’s Proper Source?

Posted on by

IN order to understand what is true and correct Theology, we must inquire for the source from which we derive our knowledge of it. (“The source (principium) is that from which anything, in some manner or other, proceeds.”—QUEN. 32.) This is the Revelation given by God.  By this divine Revelation we understand here, not that which is given in nature, but in the Word (supernatural, as distinguished from natural revelation).  More accurately, therefore, we say: the source of theological knowledge is the revelation contained in the Holy Scriptures, and this is, moreover, the only source of Theology, and neither reason,  nor, at a later date, tradition, or the appeal to the consentaneous doctrine of the ancient church, is to be ranked with it; nor are supplementary revelations now to be expected from any quarter.  — Heinrich Schmid
