Scholar and pastor Matthew Barrett retraces the historical and biblical roots of the doctrine that Scripture alone is the final and decisive authority for God''s people. God''s Word Alone is a decisive defense of the Bible as the inspired and inerrant Word of God.
Revitalizing one of the five great declarations of the Reformation—sola Scriptura—Barrett:
- Analyzes what the idea of sola Scriptura is and what it entails, clarifying why the doctrine is truth and why it''s so essential to Christianity.
- Surveys the development of this theme in the Reformation and traces the crisis that followed resulting in a shift away from the authority of Scripture.
- Shows that we need to recover a robust doctrine of Scripture''s authority in the face of today''s challenges and why a solid doctrinal foundation built on God''s Word is the best hope for the future of the church.
