Sola Scriptura

The Protestant slogan of sola Scriptura has been often misunderstood and abused as a sort of iconoclasm that destroys the doctrinal and exegetical traditions of previous eras. This misconception can be refuted easily by a cursory glance at the writings of the Reformers, who interacted extensively with the church fathers and medieval theologians in their biblical exegesis. They also sought to produce their own confessions and catechisms to teach Protestant tenets distinct from the papal church.
