Did The Early Church Fathers Teach Sola Scriptura?

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-p9gsv-fb19a8

This episode is from my weekly show for Deeper Truth Catholics.  You can follow all the great programming from Deeper Truther here.

On today’s episode of The William Hemsworth show we will examine the early church to show that Sola Scriptura was something foreign to them.  Many Protestants will throw out quotes in defense of the position, but a deeper reading into the father, or even the same document, shows this is not the case.
