It is common in evangelical circles to discount theological interpretations based on methodological critiques—especially those related to areas involving reliance on intuitions such as perfect being theology. Therefore, this article argues that the traditional Protestant doctrine of ‘sola scripture’ makes room for natural means besides supernatural revelation such as intuitions in theological formation. It argues this by showing how the alternative understanding of scripture is theologically unsatisfying and impossible. Subsequently, the article defends the use of intuitions such as perfect being theology as compatible with the traditional sola scriptura doctrine.

在福音派圈子中，通常会基于方法论的批判而轻视神学的解释，尤其是那些与依赖直觉的领域有关的事物，例如完美的存在神学。因此，本文认为，传统的“新教经文”学说除了神学形成的直觉之类的超自然启示外，还为自然手段留出了空间。它通过显示对圣经的另类理解在神学上是不令人满意的和不可能的，从而证明了这一点。随后，本文捍卫了直觉的使用，例如与传统的独奏经文学说相兼容的完美存在神学。
