Evangelical Protestantism holds strongly to the inspiration of the whole Bible, and together with the absense of reliance on Tradition as a determining factor for belief and morals,  has been the most receptive of Biblical Authority. Believing in full inspiration of the all Scripture does not mean to evangelicalism equal importance of all Scriptures for the healthy growth of the Christian community. This is because Evangelicalsim, following Scripture's own understanding, believes in progressive revelation throughout Biblical time, culminating in Jesus Christ, and no further (thus obviating the role of Tradition). Thus Evangelicalism, does not hold to the application of Mosaic Legislation, and other biblical elements that Orthodox Judaism holds to. This applies to faith and to morals. The Mosaic regualtion on executing a rebellious child does not present a problem to evangelical thought as  according to Paul and Hebrews, the Law has been rendered obsolete by the New Covenant. The Destruction of the Temple and the place for sacrifice of all kinds, present no problem for evangelicalism, as they did for Judasim *, as Christ's sacrifice on the cross has now "fulfilled" the proscriptions of the Law and the ceremonials attached. Thus there is a sort of Levels of Authority understanding for evangelicalism similar (but for different reasons)  to the levels of authority of Judaism.

Evangelical Churches generally perpetuate the understanding and desemination of Scripture knowledge through the role of the Sermon and through various study programs, the prime one in many ways being the Sunday School. Emphasis is placed on "each one understanding". Coupled with American individualism, and lack of tradional vehicles of authority, this sometimes leads to the sp;interring of churches and each man's interpretation "is as good as any other". Nevertheless, the basic elements of the Faith is strongly retained by the Evangelical Churches - the divinity of Christ, His death for sins and Resurrection from the Dead, His second coming, etc.

* The destruction of the Temple and the cessation of sacrifices was a great concern and "Woe" to first century Judaism. The solution was found 20 years after the destruction, at the Council of Jamnia in 90 A.D. From henceforth, prayer would take the place of sacrifice. The synagogue now has prayer 3 times a day and calls the names of the three prayer times according to the names of the thrice daily sacrificial offerings of the Temple - Shaharit (morning -"dawn"). Minha (afternoon prayer), and Maariv (Evening).
