(@TruthUnites ) Did Protestants abandon the Church in the sixteenth century—or were they recovering something far older?

In this video, theologian Gavin Ortlund responds to the common critique that Protestantism represents a departure from historic Christianity. By examining the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, the teaching of the early Church, and the writings of influential figures such as Augustine, Ortlund argues that Protestant convictions did not begin with the Reformation but reflect enduring patterns found throughout church history and Scripture itself.

This episode explores how Protestants understand biblical authority, why Scripture is regarded as the Church’s only infallible rule, and how this view aligns with both the early fathers and the self-testimony of Scripture. Rather than leaving the Church, the Protestant Reformation sought reform by returning to ancient Christian foundations.
