The past decade has seen the birth of a vast retrieval movement on the part of Protestants of all backgrounds. Seeking identity in an ever-more fractured Christendom, they have returned to the sources, drawing upon the wealth of knowledge that defined Protestantism at its inception.
Add to this movement, this new edition of William Whitaker’s A Disputation on Holy Scripture is a vital resource for those seeking to understand the foundations of Protestant theology. Whitaker’s arguments are as relevant today as they were in the sixteenth century, speaking directly to ongoing debates about biblical authority and interpretation. With precise reasoning and a deep commitment to the clarity of Scripture, he offers readers a rich engagement with one of the central disputes of the Reformation. Whether for scholars, pastors, or lay readers, this book provides a thought-provoking and thorough exploration of why Scripture alone is sufficient for the Christian faith.
Engaging with both contemporary Catholic apologists and the Church Fathers, Whitaker presents a compelling case for the primacy of the Bible as the ultimate rule of faith. His rigorous scholarship and keen theological insight make this work a cornerstone of Protestant polemics.
