“The Church can’t stand if we rely on the Bible alone.” Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Casey Chalk, columnist for the New Oxford Review and senior contributor for The Federalist and Crisis Magazine, as we delve deeply into why Sola Scriptura—the Protestant belief in Scripture alone—may not hold the key to understanding Christianity fully.
Our discussion explores:
The historical and theological context behind the Protestant doctrine of biblical perspicuity.
Casey’s personal journey from evangelicalism and Calvinism to Catholicism, highlighting pivotal intellectual and spiritual turning points.
How differing interpretations among Protestant denominations raise profound questions about scriptural clarity.
Why individual interpretation of Scripture often leads to division rather than unity.
The personal and relational costs often encountered when converting to Catholicism from Protestant traditions.
Practical insights into how authority, interpretation, and tradition function within the Catholic Church.
Encouragement for Protestants considering the Catholic faith, including practical steps and spiritual guidance.
Casey shares valuable insights from his book, “The Obscurity of Scripture: Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity,” offering a robust critique of the foundational Protestant doctrine and highlighting the rich interpretative tradition within Catholicism.
Whether you are a Protestant exploring Catholicism, a Catholic seeking deeper understanding of your faith, or someone intrigued by inter-denominational dialogues, Casey’s compelling testimony and scholarly perspectives offer invaluable clarity and guidance.
