Sola Scriptura

Sola Scriptura, the formal principle of the Protestant Reformation, is essential to genuine Christianity, for it declares that the Bible is the inspired word of God, the church‘s only rule of faith and practice. Yet this doctrine is under assault today as never before.

In this book, several leading Reformed pastors and scholars, including Joel Beeke, Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, Ray Lanning, John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, Derek Thomas, and James White, unpack the meaning of the doctrine of sola Scriptura or “Scripture alone“. They also explain where the attacks on the Bible are coming from and we should respond. Sola Scriptura: The Protestant Position on the Bible is a treasure trove of information and a comfort to those who grieve to see the twenty-first-century church wandering away from the safe harbor of the Bible.

Endorsements

“That the Bible as we have it today is the inspired Word of God, and that it is authoritative and sufficient for all faith and practice, is the foundation on which all other Christian doctrines stand. This truth must be continually affirmed and defended. Sola Scriptura: The Protestant Position on the Bible does this in a way that will prove profitable to both laypeople and professional clergy. I highly recommend it.”

—Dr. Jerry Bridges

“Christians are Bible people. We are made followers of Christ by the message of the Bible and continue to be guided in the ways of Christ by what the Bible says. The Bible is the Spirit’s sword, and we must learn to wield it with confidence in order to live effectively in this world. This book will help you do that. The contributors are trustworthy teachers who understand the importance of the recovery of sola Scriptura, not only for the sixteenth century, but for the twenty first. I am grateful to Reformation Trust for making it available once again.”
