When discussing theology, dispute often arises between Catholics and Protestants regarding the origin of principles and doctrines. Many of these disputes can be attributed to the idea of Sola Scriptura, or "Scripture Alone", a Protestant tenant. The basis of this idea is that the Bible is clear on doctrine, and is sufficient of itself to the final authority on Christian doctrine. In other words, the Bible is the only legitimate source of Christian theology and stands alone. Of course, this places interpretation absolutely in the realm of private interpretation, which is very appealing. This distinction in principles has far-reaching consequences; not only for theology, but also in the every day life and understanding of Protestants and Catholics on Christianity.

  • When discussing theology, dispute often arises between Catholics and Protestants regarding the origin of principles and doctrines. Many of these disputes can be attributed to the idea of Sola Scriptura, or "Scripture Alone", a Protestant tenant. The basis of this idea is that the Bible is clear on doctrine, and is sufficient of itself to the final authority on Christian doctrine. In other words, the Bible is the only legitimate source of Christian theology and stands alone. Of course, this places interpretation absolutely in the realm of private interpretation, which is very appealing. This distinction in principles has far-reaching consequences; not only for theology, but also in the every day life and understanding of Protestants and Catholics on Christianity. Often in a debate, a Catholic will be asked, "Where is that said in the Bible?" The average Catholic may say (and in Catholic theology, rightly so) "I don't know, but it's what the Church says." In Catholicism, the interpretative authority of the Church is unquestioned. The Bible itself is considered a part of the Church's tradition, and therefore not at odds with Church interpretations. The aim of this article is to present some practical problems of Sola Scriptura and Biblical evidence to refute it.
