YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sola Scriptura gets a lot of hate on the internet. If you watch my videos, there's a pretty good chance you disagree with sola scriptura, perhaps quite strongly.

In this video, I lay out how I define sola scriptura and why I think common objections don't quite land. I cover things like the problem of canonicity, inconsistent definitions of sola scriptura, whether sola scriptura could function in the early church, what the fathers thought about it, and whether it leads to endless divisions.

My goal in this video isn't to persuade you to adopt sola scriptura. Instead, my goal is to simply show that it might not be as crazy as people seem to think it is.
