Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In "The Authority of Apostolic Writings," Steve Gregg discusses how Christians should understand the authority of the Old Testament and the writings of the apostles. He emphasizes that Christians are called to follow the teachings of Jesus and those teachings which he authorizes in the Old Testament, not to simply observe the Old Testament as a set of laws. Gregg also highlights the importance of verifying the claims of individuals who claim to be apostles and discusses how the endorsement of existing apostles was crucial in establishing Paul's authority as an apostle. Additionally, the apostolic authority of the New Testament is heavily dependent on the claim of apostleship made by the authors of the letters, especially Paul's.
