The Arrogance of Solo Scriptura

This [solo Scriptura] perspective values what the Holy Spirit putatively makes known to us at the expense of what he has made known to the church of Jesus Christ over the last two thousand years. Moreover, it is impossible to come to the Bible with a blank mind, unaffected by philosophical or cultural presuppositions, or previously received teaching. It is better to acknowledge these factors than to pretend that one's biblical interpretation is pure and unalloyed when it may be far from it.
