it is intrinsic to faith that a believer desires to know better the One in whom he has put his faith, and to understand better what He has revealed; a more penetrating knowledge will in turn call forth a greater faith, increasingly set afire by love.

Our source of knowledge is from His Word, which even He has magnified above ALL, which IMO, above tradition. We are to depend on His Word aabove all to reveal God.

Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Since the bible is regarded as the Word of God by TRADITION....

And please recall that the books of the bible were determined to be the word of God by criterea that is not in the document itself.
