Millions of Christians believe in the doctrine of sola scriptura—that the Bible is the sole rule of faith. The Catholic Church rejects it as contrary to biblical teaching, Christian history, and common sense.
But there’s another problem with sola scriptura that doesn’t get talked about as much: it is utterly impractical.
Sola Scriptura Doesn’t Work: 25 Practical Reasons to Reject the Doctrine of “Bible Alone” is a different kind of take on the debate over the authority of Scripture and Protestants’ rejection of Sacred Tradition. Using a conversational, down-to-earth approach, author Joel S. Peters leaves behind heady theology and prooftext-slinging to focus on the real-world implications of Protestantism’s core doctrine.
In the perfect complement to Joel's book,Twisted Unto Destruction: How "Bible Alone" Theology Made the World a Worse Place, Apologist Don Johnson shows how ditching the Church in favor of private Bible interpretation has also enabled some of the modern world’s worst crimes and vices.
Once an Evangelical Protestant who took sola scriptura for granted, Johnson came to realize that setting ourselves up as little Magisteriums—whose opinions on the Bible’s meaning have to be as valid as anyone else’s—not only leads to endless splintering, but makes it possible to use Scripture to justify anything.
Like puppeteers, Christians could make the words of the Bible dance on command, inventing “biblical” endorsements of violence, greed, racism, abortion, sexual depravity, and more. Without an authoritative Church to hold the line, and long removed from a practical consensus, Protestantism has been unable to resist the tide of modern errors.
Tackling on this deep topic from multiple angles, Sola Scriptura Doesn't Work and Twisted Unto Destruction will be valuable companions in your own Scripture studies and apologetic discussions
