Is the Bible alone sufficient as the sole source of doctrinal authority?

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma introduces us to the teaching of sola Scriptura, what it means, and how to refute it.

Join John as he breaks down why sola Scriptura is itself an ironic teaching, how to use 2 Tim 3:16 and other verses to refute sola Scriptura, and the other two sources of authority explicitly mentioned in Scripture.

This episode will arm you with the responses you need to engage intelligently in the sola Scriptura debate.
