Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine

by Wayne Grudem


Chapter 8 — The Sufficiency of Scripture: Is the Bible enough? The sufficiency of Scripture means that the Bible contains everything God intends for us to know regarding salvation, obedience, and trust. This chapter explores how Scripture provides everything necessary for godly living, how it establishes the boundaries of doctrine and ethics, and why no additional revelation or authority equals the Bible. We also explore practical implications—how the sufficiency of Scripture protects the church from false teaching, legalism, and spiritual confusion.
