This is season 8 of Office Hours and we are celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. In confessional Protestant circles we use some shorthand Latin phrases that all might not understand, even though we use them frequently. Sola scriptura, according to scripture alone, is one of those. Perhaps none of the Reformation solas, as we refer to them, is more misunderstood both by Protestants and Roman Catholics. Many understand it to mean that the individual believer and his private interpretation of scripture is sovereign over all other other authorities. Is that however, what Martin Luther testified at Worms that his conscience was bound by the Word of God? Bob Godfrey joins us to give some perspective. He is president and Prof of Church History at Westminster Seminary California.

Here is the episode.
