River Devereux joins Andrew on this episode of 'Doth Protest' for a helpful conversation about the Reformational understanding of Scripture's authority in relation to Creeds and Councils. River's recent work in the North American Anglican has generated great conversation and some controversy surrounding this topic. River's argument is: "our entire theological system necessitates the validity of private judgement" (from his article "To Follow One's Conscience: A Defense of True Protestantism"), and that church councils cannot claim to bind our conscience. This does not equate to, River says, a type of anarchic individualism nor does it, importantly, subject Scripture to our own reason (as we see in the case of the Enlightenment).
Here are links to the River's articles that we mentioned:
"To Follow One's Conscience: A Defense of True Protestantism"
"To Reject a Council: An Essay on Scripture, the Church, and the Believer"
"Reformation Anglicanism and Nicaea II"

Additional show notes from Andrew (Disclaimer: the authors of these may or may not be in agreement with every point we made in the episode):
