Sola Traditio (Tradition Alone): The Missing Sola of the Reformation

Stephen Boyce and Pat May examine Against Heresies Book III, chapters 3–4 from Irenaeus of Lyons to explore a bold claim: that the early Church could have sustained itself in faith and practice even if the apostles had never left written texts.According to Irenaeus, the apostolic tradition was deposited in the successors of the apostles and preserved publicly in the churches. So much so that even illiterate “barbarians,” without a Bible in hand, were able to refute heretics by holding fast to the rule of faith they had received.#SolaTraditio #TraditionAlone #MissingSola #ReformationDebate #ChurchHistory #EarlyChurch #Irenaeus #AgainstHeresies #apostolictradition Link to Irenaeus: https://ccel.org/ccel/irenaeus/against_heresies_iii/anf01.ix.iv.v.htmlIf you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7
