Abstract
Sola Scriptura implies tota Scriptura, that is both Old and New Testaments. This holds good for the Lutheran and the Reformed branches of the Reformation. The former, however, is inclined towards Marcionism at the expense of the Old Testament, whilst the latter gravitates towards an identification between Old and New lacking the critical character of the Cross. These tendencies were respectively manifested in the German Christians’ disposition towards Jewish Christians, and the Dutch Reformed Church’s attitude towards the (other) Gentile Christians. In both instances social considerations of race weighed heavier than theological reflections on faith.
