Being American Orthodox, I like to think we have more going for us than a refutation of Sola Scriptura. Honestly I think we are more concerned with the fact that the Protestant West has forgotten that the Church gave scripture <em>to the church</em>. Scripture was never meant to be interpreted in your homes by yourself, read and be blessed by yes, but The Body interprets scripture lead by its Bishops. Anyway that is what I think is lacking in todays Western Protestant Churches, this idea of 'agreement through the Holy Spirit' that permeates the creation of what we call Holy Scripture, and still permeates the life of some churches. Good read, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Fascinating indeed. Being American Orthodox, I like to think we have more going for us than a refutation of Sola Scriptura.

I'm getting Sproul's "Scripture Alone" for Christmas, and look forward to what he has to say. I've heard him speak about the need to keep the Church's history in mind when reading scripture so that we can avoid the heretical and individualistic trappings that can pop up with such a view.

Might have to pick that one up. I am finishing up "What is Reformed Theology?" by RC Sproul right now. Great book... my wife and dad (yes!!!) are going to read it after me.
