For centuries, the doctrine of Sola Scriptura—the belief that the Bible alone is the sole authority in matters of faith—has been a cornerstone of Protestant Christianity. But is this truly what God intended?
In this eye-opening course, Shawn McCraney critically examines the flaws, inconsistencies, and unintended consequences of Sola Scriptura, revealing how an over-reliance on the written word has led to division, confusion, and rigid dogmatism. Through a careful look at scripture itself, historical church authority, and the role of the Spirit, this course presents an alternative view: that God’s true guidance comes through the Spirit, not just the written text.
What You’ll Learn:
- What Sola Scriptura is and why it matters—a historical and theological overview
- The failures of church authority—how tradition and scripture have often clashed
- The Bible’s own perspective on authority—does it actually support Sola Scriptura?
- How Sola Scriptura has led to division, denominationalism, and doctrinal confusion
- Why the Spirit, not the letter, is God’s true means of guidance
- The inconsistencies and limitations of relying solely on the Bible for spiritual truth
- The allure of tangible authority—why religious institutions continually fail
- A new approach to faith—embracing the Spirit over scripture
