Holy Scripture and the Church
A superb exposition of the salvific nature of the Church, explaining the place of Holy Scripture within the life of the Church rather than something with its own power to save. Sadly, many groups have lost this understanding, resulting in a perhaps unbalanced reverence for the sacred texts and a diminishing of the place of the Church.  This article sets the record straight.
