| dc.description.abstract | This research project explores the authority and inspiration of Scripture as articulated in 2 Timothy 3:16, with specific application to the Diocese of Lango in northern Uganda. The study investigates how biblical authority is understood, interpreted, and applied in pastoral ministry and church life within this local context. Drawing upon biblical exegesis, theological reflection, and contemporary scholarship, the study critically engages with the Pauline understanding of inspiration — theopneustos (God-breathed) and its implications for doctrine, preaching, moral teaching, and ecclesiastical governance. The research further identifies cultural, social, and political dynamics that influence how Scripture is received and practiced in Lango. These include oral traditions, community leadership structures, and post-colonial influences on church identity. The findings demonstrate both the richness and the challenges of upholding Scripture as the ultimate authority in an increasingly pluralistic society. This study contributes to the wider Anglican theological discourse on biblical authority, and offers contextual recommendations for strengthening scriptural literacy, theological education, and doctrinal fidelity in the Diocese of Lango. | |
