Revisiting Sola Scriptura and Apostolic Authority

This chapter examines the concept of Sola Scriptura in relation to the authority of the apostles and the early church's reliance on oral tradition and council decisions. The discussion highlights the limitations of apostolic writings and the implications of John's and Paul's teachings for future generations of Christians. Through questioning the role of written texts versus oral teachings, the chapter raises critical reflections on the nature of authority and interpretation within Christian doctrine.
