The Importance of Tradition in the Reformation

In terms of scripture alone, sola scriptura and you want to clarify what the reformers meant. The supreme authority is scripture but doesn't mean it was the only authority because tradition has a role in helping us understand what the biblical authors were saying. That view associated with the Roman Catholic view I think is probably more likely to have led to the secularism than the reformers emphasis that God has to legitimate our nature or illumine our minds.
