Word of God, the revelatory work of the triune God in making himself known by humans. Here we want to expand on that discussion by focusing on the community in which God is revealed. How does that community’s life together help or hinder their knowledge of God? Specifically, we will consider how authority is exercised in the church, and what role theological confessions fulfill in exercising that churchly authority. In all these ways, the Spirit guides the church into knowing and proclaiming truth.
