Inhaltsangabe

Is the Bible the sole rule of faith? A sharp, historic critique of Protestant assumptions
This nonfiction work challenges the claim that the scriptures alone govern Christian belief. It surveys arguments about how doctrine is formed, the role of tradition, and the limits of scriptural authority. Readers receive a careful, pointed defense of relying on a broader framework beyond the New Testament text.

The author examines key debates on canon, interpretation, and the nature of faith, using historical examples to test whether a single written rule can capture all essential doctrine. The discussion includes how creeds, councils, and church practice interact with scripture, and what this means for readers seeking clarity in matters of belief.


  • Arguments about the completeness and coherence of the scriptural record

  • Analysis of how tradition and authority influence doctrinal certainty

  • Critical look at the interplay between church governance, canon law, and faith

  • Historical cases that illustrate how beliefs have been defended or challenged



Ideal for readers of historical theology and anyone exploring how doctrine has been formed through scripture, tradition, and church authority.
