At the heart of the Protestant Reformation is the conviction that Scripture alone is the infallible source for the Christian faith. Perhaps no doctrine is more fundamental to the divide between Protestants and Catholics/Orthodox than sola scriptura. No small amount of ink has been used, not to mention the blood shed, in the debate over this Protestant principle. In this episode, I'm joined by prolific Evangelical scholar Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer who is well known for his influential works on hermeneutics and Scripture. We talk about his book, Biblical Authority After Babel, and ask questions like, "what does it mean for the Bible to have authority?" and "what did the Reformers mean by sola scriptura?" We sought to clarify misunderstandings, and of particular interest, Dr. Vanhoozer responds to some of the most common objections to sola scriptura. It was an incredibly enjoyable conversation, and I hope you enjoy it.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.

About the host:
Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 22 year old guy who’s passionate about the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel. I believe that the gospel, the good news about Jesus, is really good news, and I’m out to explore, unpack, and share that good news with as many people as possible. I'm a full blown Bible and Church History nerd that loves getting to dialogue with others about this, learning as much as I can, and then teaching whatever I can. I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs
