Scripture and Obedience - Sermons on the Subjects of the Day - Oliver O'Donovan

These writings are God’s chosen means, together with the sacramental acts of the church, of making his self-announcement known to all ages. Scripture is not the first moment of God’s self-announcement; that is the historical deeds themselves by which he raised up Israel and Jesus. But neither is it a moment after God’s self-announcement, a retrospective commentary that could be peeled away, leaving the core intact. Scripture is, we may say, God’s administration of his self-announcement, the record he has authorised to it and the seal he has set on it to confirm that it is true.
