-  * The Bible is a covenant corpus; it is a body, a collection of covenants.
-  * This is the nature of the Bible: covenant. This is the formal character of the Bible: covenant.

-The Bible, because of its nature and formal character as a divine covenant corpus, is authoritative. It is God's final authority over man, given to change man's conduct.
-  - The Bible is authoritative in its origin: The words of Scripture are inspired by God.
-  - The Bible is authoritative in its purpose: God inspired Scripture to govern us.
-Scripture, as a covenant corpus, confronts us with God's absolute and final authority over us and our lives as the subjects living in the Kingdom He created.
