Abstract
"In the present paper we shall raise for fresh consideration the question of the proper place of tradition in the faith of Baptists today. Some recent developments makere~examinationofthis issue eminently appropriate. First, in the field of Reformation studies there has been the recent recognition of the significant role that many Protestant Reformers gave to tradition. This has resulted from an increasing effort to understand the sixteenth-century Reformation in the context of the late Middle Ages.3 Reformation historian Heiko A. Oberman has undertaken valuable studies of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in the conviction that "a definite and geographically extensive continuity exists between the Middle Ages and the sixteenth-century Reformation in the shape and context of the ongoing intellectual quest ''4 One area of continuity relates to the whole matter of the role of tradition in theology"
