“The theme upon which this book focuses[...]is not a novel one, and it certainly does not propose some new relationship between Scripture and Tradition. It simply recognizes the importance of a proper understanding of Scripture and Tradition in spiritual life, as witnessed by the attention of the Fathers to this serious matter, and attempts to present a readable account of what the Fathers have said about the reception of Holy Writ and the customs, practices, and doctrines passed down to us from the Apostles themselves.”
