Description: In this Volume, William Webster addresses the common historical arguments against sola Scriptura, demonstrating that the principle is, in fact, eminently historical, finding support in ‘the unanimous consent of the fathers.’ Webster also provides a detailed examination of the question of the canon from the time of Christ to the Reformation in which he answers the spurious arguments of Roman apologists that the Church of Rome infallibly established the canon in the fourth century.

"Belief in sola Scriptura - that the Bible is the supreme, sufficient and perspicuous authority for Christian faith and life - was the foundation stone upon which the 16th century Reformation was built. But this conviction has been blurred and weakened by the relentless assaults of Roman Catholic apologists and the Church`s failure adequately to assert and expound the doctrine. The prevailing mists of uncertainty should now be dispersed for many by the publication of this massive 3-volume work from David King and William Webster. The authors show, with painstaking thoroughness, that sola Scriptura is the teaching of the Bible itself and was central in the belief and practice of the early church, as exemplified in history and the writings of the Fathers. Roman claims collapse in the face of overwhelming evidence, skilfully marshalled and cogently presented. The measured gentleness of this demolition is devastating and unanswerable and the people of God are indebted to Webster and King for their labours in producing what will prove an invaluable resource."
--Edward Donnelly, Minister of Trinity Reformed Presbyterian Church, Newtownabbey, and Professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland

"For centuries the Roman Catholic Church has maintained that the rule of faith and practice is Scripture plus tradition, which is understood as the unanimous consent of the Church fathers. Now, in an unprecedented manner King and Webster have utterly destroyed that position by showing that the consent of the fathers teaches the doctrine of sola Scriptura . This work is a substantive volume, providing much material in one place that would take a scholar years to amass. It is a vital resource for the study of the fathers, the canon and, particularly, of the apocrypha. I predict that it will become the standard work on these subjects."
--Jay Adams, co-pastor of The Harrison Bridge Road A.R.P. Church in Simpsonville, South Carolina, founder of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation of Laverock, Pennsylvania

"I have anxiously awaited this work since I was informed about the decision to write it several years ago. To characterize these volumes as comprehensive and historically informed is to engage in understatement. I can always count on Bill Webster to provide meticulous documentation of the fathers; and the addition of David King lends a certain pastoral element that causes the reader to relive the emotions surrounding the events of the Reformation itself. In painstaking detail, Webster and King systematically dismantle the unbiblical and ahistorical assertions made by modern Roman Catholic apologists who all too often rely on eisegetical interpretations of the Bible and ‘cut and paste’ patrology. Not many books qualify as an actual reference volume. This volume will prove to be an invaluable reference to the scholar, pastor and layman alike; and I anticipate consulting it again and again."
--Eric Svendsen, Professor of Biblical Studies at Columbia Evangelical Seminary
