Summary/Abstract: The article presents the views of the author of the monograph The Doctrine of Scripture on the issue of the Reformation principle sola Scriptura. Brad East criticises the Protestant axiom from what he calls a catholic perspective. He wants to take as broada view as possible, taking into account patristic and medieval thought and the theologyof many Christian denominations, including the Roman Catholic one. Among the many arguments against the “Scripture alone” principle, the following ones have been pointed out: the impossibility of establishing the canon on the basis of Scripture alone, the formal in sufficiency of Scripture, its perspicuity only in the Church, the silence of inspired books on matters requiring answers, the distinction between the word of God and Scripture,and the limited authority of the Holy Bible. The conclusions of the assistant professor oftheology in the College of Biblical Studies at Abilene Christian University help as well to justify the Catholic belief in the necessary connection of Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium of the Church.
