No belief is more central to Protestantism than sola Scriptura — that the Bible is the only infallible, authoritative source of Christian faith and practice. Dave Armstrong’s argument is that the doctrine fails by its own standard: Scripture itself does not teach it.
One hundred numbered arguments, organized in four sections: the binding authority of Tradition, the binding authority of the Church, biblical evidences for an infallible Church, and counter-arguments against the standard sola Scriptura prooftexts (2 Timothy 3:15-17, Acts 17:11, Galatians 1, Revelation 22:18-19, and a dozen more). The format is built for use: numbered, organized, easy to consult mid-conversation.
Armstrong was an evangelical Protestant apologist before becoming Catholic — he doesn’t strawman the doctrine, he defines it from Geisler, Mathison, and James White and dismantles the real thing. Edited by Todd Aglialoro and originally published by Catholic Answers, this is the precise, biblically-based takedown of sola Scriptura every Catholic who’s been asked “where’s that in the Bible?” has needed.
