Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith, Volume I: A Biblical Defense of the Reformation Principle of Sola Scriptura

by David T. King

One of the foundational principles of the Reformation was the perspicuity, primacy and sufficiency of Scripture. Historically, Roman Catholic apologists and theologians have maintained that sola Scriptura is illegitimate, because, as they claim, it is not taught in Scripture.

In this Volume, David King provides a biblical defense of sola Scriptura. He sets forth the positive teaching of Scripture regarding itself, convincingly demonstrating that Scripture teaches its own sufficiency as God’s revelation, and possessing the innate ability to communicate clearly and understandably the necessary truths for faith and morals for every Christian. He systematically addresses and answers the Roman Catholic arguments against sola Scriptura.

This is by far one of the best, most thorough and thought provoking presentation I've ever read. Its case FOR Sola Scriptura is ironclad. Every angle of the argument is touched upon. And the number of quotes and footnotes from church fathers and Catholic leaders through the ages makes the case FOR Sola Scriptura. In the past 'church history' has always been used to push around ignorant Protestants who do't know what happened during the Protestant Reformation, let alone would ever bother read the works of Irenaeus or Athanasius, but this book opens up the history of what the church fathers actually said to anyone willing to read.
