At the end of that pamphlet we promised to devote this pamphlet to an examination of theistic evolution in light of the reformed view of the perspicuity of the Bible. Reformed Christians hold to the perspicuity of the Bible. What we mean by the perspicuity of Holy Scripture is basically clear, lucid, and plain. The meaning of Scripture is not clouded and deliberately concealed. But the meaning of Scripture is distinct.
Scripture is understandable.
The ordinary, common believer is able to discern the meaning of Scripture and understand Scripture's basic message. This is not to say that there are not some difficult passages of Scripture. This is certainly the case. Nor does this deny that in their teachings the Scriptures are deep and broad, providing more than enough material for a lifetime of study and meditation. Further, this truth implies that the more difficult passages of Scripture must be interpreted in the light of the simpler and clearer passages.
