Does Sola Scriptura stand up to historical scrutiny? Trent Horn examines the early church fathers to see if their writings support the Protestant doctrine.

Many Protestants argue that the early church fathers before 325 AD adhered to the principle of Sola Scriptura. By analyzing the historical evidence and debates with figures like James White and Gavin Ortland, this video challenges that assumption. We look at whether the historical record actually supports the Protestant claim or if it points toward a different understanding of authority.

Understanding the historical basis for the canon makes it difficult to remain Protestant if your theology relies on that specific doctrine. We review why the evidence often cited in these debates falls short of proving that the early church held to a scripture-alone framework. This analysis provides a clearer picture of the actual teaching of the church fathers on biblical authority.
