Question

The theologian could not attempt to gain illumination for theology outside the Bible itself. For example, studying what various theologians have said about a doctrine throughout church history.

Answer 1

The theologian could not attempt to gain illumination for theology outside the Bible itself is a FALSE statement.

Explanation:

• For the theologian, the illumination did not just serve as a guiding light which was only limited to the beliefs within the theology.
• In order to enable the theologian to compare the beliefs within the theology with the beliefs that were outside the theology, the illumination extended itself to prove that the beliefs within the theology were superior to any other beliefs.
