We have been discussing Scripture and Tradition a lot over the last few days. We learned that both need to exist and be in practice in order for us to fully uncover God's truth and revelation. Remember that Scripture "is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit" (Catechism of the Catholic Church). Tradition "comes from the apostles and hands on what they received from Jesus' teaching and example and what they learned from the Holy Spirit."
Remember that the first generation of Christians did not yet have a written New Testament, and the New Testament itself demonstrates the process of living Tradition.
Documents from the Church tell us that Tradition began when "the Apostles who, by their oral preaching, by example, and by observances handed on what they had received from the lips of Christ, from living with Him, and from what He did, or what they had learned through the prompting of the Holy Spirit."
These Apostles and other disciples who were under the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit applied the message of salvation to writing.
Check out the two videos below. Notice the pieces from Scripture which discuss Tradition. You may need this for your assignment, so it's wise to pause along the way after viewing it the first time in full.
Download your assignment below. You can print it out and fill it in, or complete it on the computer. This is due Tuesday. I also attached a PDF in case you don't have Word or in case it comes out distorted.
