Summary

With Sola Scriptura, or “through Scripture alone,” the Reformers affirmed the authority of Scripture over and above the tradition of the Roman Catholic church. Today, questions of authority and accountability still plague the church, stemming from the influence of radical Anabaptists, modern biblicists, the continued tradition of Rome, and our own culturally shaped desires to have the final say. In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss sola Scriptura and how it can be good news for the church today.

0:51.8	His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
0:54.6	It's for our good.
0:55.6	It's always for our good.
0:57.1	This is what I find when people are deconstructing their faith these days.
1:00.5	As you said, Bob, they're trying to figure out, okay, I don't want to be what I was taught,

1:11.6	Right.
1:12.6	And so they're holding the scripture in their hands, believing solar scripture, but what
