The Spiritual Authority of St. Peter

Many Christians are taught that the Bible alone is sufficient and that each Christian can interpret it for themselves.

But what happens when Christians don't agree on an interpretation of Scripture?

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma unpacks the truth of Jesus’ words to Peter in Matthew 16. In this breakdown, you'll learn about the importance and necessity of apostolic succession, the proper authority for interpreting Scripture, the true meaning of "binding and loosing" in Jesus' time, and more.

Using both Scripture and ancient Jewish writings, Dr. Bergsma demonstrates how Christ established a sure and authoritative voice for interpreting His Word.
