Sola Scriptura and Early Church Authority

This chapter examines the historical context surrounding the concept of Sola Scriptura as articulated by early church fathers like St. Irenaeus and St. Cyril. It explores the complex relationship between scripture and tradition, questioning how they align or conflict within Christian doctrine. By contrasting the views of early theologians with those of Reformation thinkers, the chapter prompts listeners to reassess their understanding of ecclesiastical authority and its implications for faith.
