CTF 2024 Session 2: Jesus Christ as the Scope of Scripture

Unveiling the Heart of the Bible: Jesus Christ as the Scope of Scripture

Dr. Richard Barcellos will provide a helpful treatment on the words "the scope of the whole" which are found in chapter 1, paragraph 5 of the Confession. He will conduct a survey of relevant historical theology to demonstrate that older divines understood this to be a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ, specifically salvation by grace through faith in the only Redeemer of God's elect. He will then demonstrate the validity of this position from the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments.
