Description: One of the foundational principles of the Reformation was the perspicuity, primacy and sufficiency of Scripture. Historically, Roman Catholic apologists and theologians have maintained that sola Scriptura is illegitimate, because, as they claim, it is not taught in Scripture.

In this Volume, David King provides a biblical defense of sola Scriptura. He sets forth the positive teaching of Scripture regarding itself, convincingly demonstrating that Scripture teaches its own sufficiency as God’s revelation, and possessing the innate ability to communicate clearly and understandably the necessary truths for faith and morals for every Christian. He systematically addresses and answers the Roman Catholic arguments against sola Scriptura.

"The historic and biblical doctrine of sola Scriptura (the final authority and sufficiency of Holy Scripture for Christian faith and life), once the subject of great controversy in the age of magisterial Reformation, is being called into question again in our own day. However it is not so much Roman Catholic counter-reformers, but evangelical Protestants who are undermining this important truth of the Christian faith. The fact is that some of our very best pastors and ministerial students are insufficiently equipped to engage in this foundational discussion. That’s why the three volumes of David King and William Webster, Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith are so timely and important. The authors provide helpful biblical and historical argumentation for the classical Protestant position, and supply a treasure trove of church historical witness to it. This is a subject of which no truly evangelical minister ought dare be ignorant. King and Webster have greatly aided our remedial education in this vital area."
--J. Ligon Duncan III, PhD, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church

"A massive work that contains an enormous amount of biblical and patristic research, Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith ably answers Roman Catholic arguments that denigrate the ultimate authority and perspicuity of Scripture. King and Webster excel in meeting Roman Catholics on their own turf, frequently drawing on their works. They provide a compelling read for both Protestants and Catholics who seriously desire to grasp the proper role of Scripture and tradition for the life of believers and the Christian church today."
--Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

"William Webster and David King have done a tremendous amount of careful, painstaking research to bring us this valuable work. It is a digest of patristic writings on the sufficiency and perspicuity of Scripture. It reveals that the leading Church fathers’ view of the authority and finality of the written Word of God was as lofty as that of any Protestant Reformer. In effect, Webster and King have demonstrated that sola Scriptura was the rule of faith in the early church. The absolute sufficiency of Scripture is not a novel doctrine unknown until the time of the Reformation, as Roman Catholic apologists are fond of claiming. Holy Scripture: The Ground and Pillar of Our Faith is a monumental achievement and will be of immense value to anyone seeking to understand the high esteem in which the early church held Scripture."
--Dr. John MacArthur, Pastor/Teacher of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA

"William Webster and David King have hit the bull’s eye repeatedly and with great force in their treatment of sola Scriptura . The exegetical material sets forth a formidable biblical foundation for this claim of exclusivity and the historical argument illustrates how the early church believed it and traces the circuitous path by which Roman Catholicism came to place tradition alongside Scripture as a source, or deposit, of authoritative revelation. The authors’ knowledge of both primary and secondary literature is massive and their analysis of it is helpful and rigorously honest. Romans Catholicism’s departure from this principle receives a healthy investigation while the Protestant affirmation of it also is investigated critically, and affirmed. The endnotes, while intimidatingly long in places, are of immense help in placing the pertinent material directly before the reader. This book is not a quick read but its subject matter and its execution are well worth the time and concentration demanded."
--Dr. Tom Nettles, Professor of Historical Theology, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
