Does the apostolic kerygma (the core gospel proclamation) logically demand the use of sola scriptura (Scripture Alone)?

In this episode of The Narthex, we explore the deep theological connection between the early church's core message and the Reformation principle of "Scripture Alone." We examine why a fixed, infallible standard is necessary to protect the message from drift and corruption, and how the Bible serves as the ultimate authority for the Christian faith.

If you are looking for clear, historical, and theological answers regarding biblical authority, reformed theology, and the history of the early church, this deep dive is for you.

In this video, we discuss:

The nature and authority of the original apostolic message.

Why oral tradition poses a risk to the fixity of the Gospel.

The logical necessity of a written standard to protect the faith.
