Sola Scriptura: The Protestant Foundation

We discuss Sola Scriptura, a central tenet of Protestantism asserting that Scripture alone is the ultimate and infallible authority for Christian belief and practice. The principle, highlighted through quotes from William Chillingworth and actions of Martin Luther, distinguishes Protestantism from traditions giving equal weight to tradition or church authority. Key aspects include the inspired, inerrant, and sufficient nature of the Bible, its benefits like clarity and empowerment, and the challenges it faces from contemporary perspectives like cultural relativism and theological reinterpretation. The texts advocate for standing firm on the Bible as an unchanging guide in a changing world.
