Not By Scripture Alone? Greenbaggins

An important discussion is underway at Greenbaggins.

Not By Scripture Alone?
January 3, 2011 at 11:49 am (Bible, Church, Roman Catholicism)

One of the main apologetics books from a Roman Catholic position on the doctrine of Scripture is entitled Not By Scripture Alone, a Catholic Critique of the Protestant Doctrine of Sola Scriptura. It is edited by Robert Sungenis, a Westminster Philadelphia graduate. Sungenis also wrote Not By Faith Alone: The Biblical Evidence for the Catholic Doctrine of Justification. Sungenis has been busy seeking to convert Protestants to the Catholic faith. (I first read about the Scripture book while reading David King’s first volume Holy Scripture.) In this book, 8 Catholic authors seek to show that the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura is not defensible. I propose to go through this book in some detail, refuting its arguments point by point. I would certainly invite my Catholic authors to seek to contact Mr. Sungenis, so that he would become aware of this refutation, and I would certainly welcome him to comment on my posts. I hope to engage this book fairly, yet critically, since I fundamentally disagree with the book. I would encourage my readers and commenters to stick to the point, and avoid name-calling, but rather examine the logic of each point carefully.
