Defining and DEFENDING Sola Scriptura (w/ Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer)

At the heart of the Protestant Reformation is the conviction that Scripture alone is the infallible source for the Christian faith. Perhaps no doctrine is more fundamental to the divide between Protestants and Catholics/Orthodox than sola scriptura. No small amount of ink has been used, not to mention the blood shed, in the debate over this Protestant principle. In this episode, I'm joined by prolific Evangelical scholar Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer who is well known for his influential works on hermeneutics and Scripture. We talk about his book, Biblical Authority After Babel, and ask questions like, "what does it mean for the Bible to have authority?" and "what did the Reformers mean by sola scriptura?" We sought to clarify misunderstandings, and of particular interest, Dr. Vanhoozer responds to some of the most common objections to sola scriptura. It was an incredibly enjoyable conversation, and I hope you enjoy it.
