Home›Core Tenets›Revelation and Scripture›All Revelation and ScriptureBrowse ByAll Revelation and ScriptureCore tenets that state how a tradition believes it received authoritative religious knowledge and what status that source of knowledge holds. This includes tenets on the divine origin and inerrancy or fallibility of a scripture, the closing or continuation of a prophetic canon, the authority of oral tradition alongside a written text, and claims of ongoing revelation through vision, dream or a living voice. A tenet about who has the authority to interpret an already-accepted revelation, rather than about the revelation's own origin or status, belongs instead under religious authority and succession.All Revelation and ScriptureComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Revelation and ScriptureFilter Results31 entriesStatus Within the TraditionAllBinding, without a formal definition (22)Formally condemned by this tradition (1)Genuinely disputed within the tradition (3)Rejected, or not held, within this tradition (5)Standard teaching, not formally defined (6)Origin Period Start YearAll-29 (1)750 (1)800 (1)1253 (1)1647 (1)1830 (1)1863 (1)1881 (1)1934 (1)Affirmation OfAllContinuing Revelation (1)Inner Light (1)Progressive Revelation (1)Category of BeliefAllCore Tenets (13)TraditionAllAhmadiyya (1)Alawites (1)Alevism (1)American Humanist Association (1)Anabaptism (1)Assyrian Church of the East (1)Baptist (2)Beta Israel (2)Breslov Hasidism (1)Calvinism (Reformed) (2)Chabad-Lubavitch (1)Church of Scotland (1)Church of Sweden (1)Church of the Nazarene (1)Churches of Christ (1)Community of Christ (3)Divine Science (1)Dutch Reformed Church (1)Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (1)Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (2)Evangelicalism (2)Haredi Judaism (1)Ibadism (2)Ismailism (2)Karaite Judaism (1)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (2)Lutheranism (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (1)Nation of Islam (1)National Baptist Convention of America (2)Nichiren (1)Nichiren Shoshu (1)Nyingma (1)Orthodox Judaism (1)Pentecostalism (2)Presbyterianism (2)Progressive National Baptist Convention (2)Protestantism (1)Quakerism (Religious Society of Friends) (1)Quranism (1)Religious Science (Centers for Spiritual Living) (1)Salafism (1)Seventh-day Adventism (2)Shakers (1)Shia (Twelver) (1)Shingon (1)Soka Gakkai (1)Sri Vaishnavism (1)Sufism (2)Sunni (1)Tendai (3)The Episcopal Church (1)Theravada (1)Tiantai (2)Unity (Unity School of Christianity) (1)Wahhabism (1)Zaidiyyah (2)SubjectAllRevelation and scripture (31)ObligationAllObligatory (9)Undertaken only with authorisation or transmission (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 31A Solitary Report Is Weighed Against the Established Principles of the QuranCore TenetsA Transmitted Report Outweighs Reasoning by AnalogyCore TenetsAn Expanded Biblical Canon Including Enoch and JubileesCore TenetsBiblical inerrancyCore TenetsBoth the Sanskrit Vedas and the Tamil Hymns of the Alvars Are RevelationCore TenetsCessation of the miraculous spiritual giftsCore TenetsContinuing revelation through living prophetsCore TenetsElijah Muhammad Is the Messenger of GodCore TenetsEsoteric and exoteric teaching as oneCore TenetsEsoteric interpretation of scripture (batin)Core TenetsMahavairocana as the cosmic Buddha who preaches the DharmaCore TenetsRejection of the Oral Torah (Talmud)Core TenetsScripture alone (sola scriptura)Core TenetsScripture as witness rather than as historyCore TenetsScripture Is Read as Metaphysical AllegoryCore TenetsTerma: teachings concealed and later revealed as treasureCore TenetsThe Book of Mormon as additional scriptureCore TenetsThe five periods and eight teachings as the order of the Buddha's preachingCore TenetsThe Humanist Manifesto Is a Revisable Statement, Not a CreedCore TenetsThe Inner LightCore TenetsThe Lotus Sutra as the supreme teachingCore TenetsThe Orit in Ge'ez Is Scripture and There Is No Talmudic LiteratureCore TenetsThe Pali Canon (Tipitaka) as authoritative scriptureCore TenetsThe Quran Alone Binds and Hadith Carries No Legal AuthorityCore TenetsThe Quran is createdCore TenetsThe Settled Practice of the People of Medina Is a Source of LawCore TenetsThe Sources of Law Are Four and the List Is ClosedCore TenetsThe Sunna Recorded in Hadith Is a Binding Source of LawCore TenetsThe Torah is divinely revealed and bindingCore TenetsThe unity of all religionsCore TenetsTheodore of Mopsuestia as the Authoritative Interpreter of ScriptureCore TenetsComments (0)No comments yet.
