“How does the Bible actually exercise authority in any particular congregation? Suppose we think of congregations we know best, and allow me to begin with my own experience that spans a half-century, more or less, in the same place. But after I relate my own experience, I want to invite you, my readers, to take a simple test which you can apply to congregations you have known. The order is important because I believe your answers to the question about biblical authority in the congregation will be more significant for you than my answer can be.”
