				In what shape do we find the doctrine of sola Scriptura today?  Many modern Evangelicals see it as a licence to ignore history and the creeds in favour of a more splintered approach to Christian living.  In the past two decades, Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox apologists have strongly sought to undermine sola Sciptura as unbiblical, unhistorical, & impractical.  But these groups rest their cases on a recent, false take on sola Scriptura. The ancient, medieval, and classical Protestant view of sola Scriptura actually has a quite different shape than most opponents and defenders maintain.  Therein lies the goal of this book--an intriguing defence of the ancient (& classical Protestant) doctrine of sola Scriptura against the claims of Rome, the East, and modern Evangelicalism.
