Challenges to Sola Scriptura and Ecclesiastical Authority

The chapter explores criticisms against Sola Scriptura, addressing challenges of individual interpretation without ecclesiastical guidance and the accusation of self-authority. It discusses the role of church tradition, creeds, and authority structures in interpreting Scripture, contrasting this with the Roman Catholic approach. Historical contexts like the early church and theological disputes, including Aryan debates and councils like Nicaea, are examined in relation to the concept of Sola Scriptura.
