The Perils of Sola Scriptura

This chapter examines the risks associated with the doctrine of Sola Scriptura within Protestantism, arguing that the lack of a complementary authority can result in isolated and divergent interpretations of the Bible. It posits the necessity of a guiding magisterium to maintain communal standards and prevent heretical beliefs that stem from personal interpretations. The discussion underscores the importance of a living authority in interpreting Scripture to preserve coherence across generations and address ethical issues within the Church.
