The author laments that what he terms "solo scriptura" is gaining ascendancy over the traditionally confessed tenet of evangelicalism, sola Scriptura. Solo scriptura is a teaching that is against the use of any tradition whatsoever as a source of authority in the church. Tradition, according to the author, touches on aspects such as creeds and the teachings of early fathers. In contending for the use of tradition, the author touches on schools of thought such as hyper-preterism (or pantelism). The author also refers to instances in Scripture where some problems were dealt with from a traditional perspective.
