What is Sacred Tradition? What is the relationship between Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture? Why can't we just use Sacred Scripture (the Bible) alone? (essay 1)
Sacred Tradition is the handing on of the truths of Jesus Christ by the successors of the Apostles. Sacred Tradition was originally handed down orally and eventually came to be written down into what we now know as the Bible, which is also called Sacred Scripture. Sacred Tradition determined which books were included in the Bible and it also interprets them faithfully. We can't just use the Bible alone because not everything the Christian needs is contained in the Bible.
