scriptural
This term carries a heavy weight of authority and tradition, typically used in theological or legalistic contexts to denote a foundation derived from divine revelation rather than human reason or secular law. It suggests a sense of permanence and unchangeable truth, often appearing in formal religious discourse or academic studies of theology.
In practical usage, the word frequently contrasts with "secular" or "traditional." While "biblical" is often used interchangeably, "scriptural" is broader and can apply to any sacred text (such as the Quran or Torah), though in English it most commonly refers to the Bible. It implies a strict adherence to the written word as the ultimate source of legitimacy.
